Lou's Birthday Week!



It was a fun weekend of celebrating Lou's birthday. On Saturday we travelled with friends to Napili Beach. Our Maui guide book describes Napili in the following way:" it generates more fun per square foot than any other beach in the area." We walked along it before moving on.
We travelled in a northerly direction to the Dragon's Teeth--(the picture of Lou and Marilyn). This is a unique lava formation. Salt spray on the upwind side has etched the lava into thrusting shapes.
The Nakalele blowhole is the final picture. Here the ocean has undercut the shoreline, pounding underneath the lava shelf, where it spits through a man-sized hole in the lava. The blowhole varies tremendously with the tide and size of the surf. (quotes from Maui Revealed)
Of course we have found many ways in which to celebrate Lou and life with him. Yesterday we spent time at the beach, relaxing. At dinner time one of the participants pulled out his guitar, accompanied a chorus of volunteers and in the happy birthday song. In the evening some friends and we walked by the light of the moon at Wailea. The day was complete by enjoying mud pie and coffee.
