We started out on a warmer-than-usual morning and returned to Kahului to attempt a visit at the 'Iao Valley. Alas, after the short drive west a few miles up a steep and beautiful canyon, we were unlucky in that we could find no parking at the small Lot serving the state park, and allowing for a walk to view the "needle" rock formation. However, it is easy to return, and maybe when we do there will not be a cruise ship moored in the port five miles away and sending thousands of passengers on one-day excursions....
We visited a Walmart then a Target to pick up an inexpensive Fire Stick for our unit's TV, as the current setup is a bit off-and-on. Then, off to lunch at a tucked away locals spot (Tante's) that was delicious and influenced strongly by the Philippines. A leisurely drive back found that the trade winds were dead quiet, and it remained very warm in the condo, but not enough to warrant using the A/C.
We set up the Fire Stick in about 3 minutes and all is well.
The blood moon-eclipse is tonight but we are pretty sure we won't see it because of the proximity of hills and buildings blocking our view of the moonrise. We shall see!
Well, we saw it rise, full blood moon, and all! Pictures with iPad were a bit tough due to the light pollution, but in the middle of this black square is a partial eclipse moon....
