Relaxing in Maui means hanging around the condo reading or processing pictures, talking with people we know that come every year, or going to some of the same places we always go like Halloween and Keiki Hula show. This year was about the same. Marilyn finished a couple of books and I read a little of Tom Brokaw’s book “Boom!”. The nice thing about his that is that it is a collection of stories about people he first met as a young reporter in the 60’s and what they have done and how they have changed over the 40 years. Of course my pictures a
re much the same with fish, flowers, and the people. Some are out on flickr.
There are always some of the same people staying at KBC each year but then we also meet a few new people. They had the first of the Thursday gatherings the last Thursday we were there which is always good for meeting people. The young couple staying next to us were there with his Father, Dr. Edward Jones, and step Mother, in a different unit. It was nice to meet them as he also attended the University of Washington and his Father was retired from UW. They gave us a copy of his book Tutankhamon. At 86 he follows my feelings that many college professors can never retire they just keep researching and writing books. Since we will be taking the Red Sea, Egypt trip next spring the book will be a great reference.
We met friends for dinner one night, at a place that had a great jazz trio playing and also when out for our usual dinner at Kimo’s with the Hula Pie. We also usually go to the Tropical Plantation were Marilyn’s get to feed the ducks and I get to take pictures of the flowers. It is a beautiful place but I’m afraid we don’t do much to help it survive since we spend very little money there. The last Saturday we have been checking out and then going to the Seawatch
restaurant for a great breakfast with a view of the ocean. It is a great way to end the two weeks.
The Halloween in Lahaina is another story.
