| Looking like an alien being, the old banyan tree (imported from India in 1873) is 60 ft. high. |
It means "cruel sun" in
Hawaiian, because of the sunny, dry climate.
In the 19th century it was
the center of the whaling industry.
 |
| It's also one of the oldest in the U.S. |
 |
| The old Courthouse is right behind it. |
 |
| One of their interesting displays. A light prism used to shed light below deck on the old ships. |
 |
| Lahaina Public Library. |
 |
| From the back door to the front. |
 |
| It can get really hot so shaved ice hits the spot. |
 |
| The beach along Front St. |

 |
| Upcountry Makawao, the Paniolo (cowboy) town. It is an art community in a rustic, western setting. The famous Komoda store was closed (Sunday) so we missed their famous doughnuts. |
 |
| We also missed the lavender season, but the Alii Lavender Farm has so many other flowers, and there are always some lavender in bloom. |

 |
| The perfect pick me up--fresh squeezed lemonade ( mine was with watermelon and basil) in a Mason jar, from M's favorite stand in Kahului. |
 |
| We went back to have pork adobo at Tante's in the Maui Seaside Hotel. |
 |
| The Halo Halo dessert was super delicious! Avocado, cantalope were among the tasty fruits and the ice cream was Okinawan sweet potato. |
 |
| One last beautiful sunset on Maui but we're coming back for more. Thank you M! |
