Maui: Aloha Crossfit and Nakalele Blowhole

Do you have any idea how many times we have had the banana mac french toast at the Kihei Cafe?? 

So many times. 

To Aloha Crossfit we must go! Definitely a cool gym. They had a great local membership and weren't really used to tourists dropping in. We like the vibe there and we got in a good workout. Mark had fun practicing his handstand walks with one of the more experienced athletes there. 


We thought we'd like to drive out a see the Nakalele Blowhole before we head home tomorrow. 


We got there and I realized that I may have underestimated the hike.


Well, watcha gonna do? Just go slowly and hold up your skirt!

We read about how dangerous it can be if you get to close to the opening of the blowhole.


It's hard to imagine the force that it takes to make the water shoot up that high. And then you hear it and it definitely instills a sense of respect for what nature can do.



Still, the beauty of this place is so inspiring.


We grabbed some fresh pineapple juice and banana bread from a roadside stand.  Yum!


We had lunch at Aloha Mixed Plate, another of Alisa's recommendations. The meal was healthy and light...


So, we couldn't resist following it up with one of the best desserts we've had to date.


I mean...come on!


We took another stroll around Lahaina and listened in on this group singing beautiful island songs.


We watched the black crabs climb on the rocks and a group of kids go out for sunset surf.


It was perfect and relaxed. We have loved this time we've had to spend together.
