West Maui

Made our way up to the dry and calm-watered West Maui, and then to the rougher north part of West Maui to Nakalele Blowhole. What a crazy thing of nature - the waves crash under the rocks and shoots out of this one hole, sending a tower of water straight up into the air, making a rainbow with its spray. The area around it looks alien with strangely eroded rocks.
We attempted to go snorkeling at the famous Honolua Bay, which is also infamous for car break-ins, but as we pulled up, there was a guy who had just gotten robbed! He was stupid enough to leave all his valuables on shore while he went snorkeling way out there with no one to watch his stuff. Two other people got hit at the same time, so we decided to come back in the morning, but mom helped them out with the use of her cell phone and a $40 loan.

Decided to end the day at Dragon's Teeth - another wind and water eroded alien landscape.
