FINAL TRIP OUT

We did go out to the church property yesterday and again I have to say, this is truly my favourite place on earth, or at least on Maui!  I will include way too many pics at the end of this and you will see why. What a wonderful day.

We left at ten am and it takes a full two hours to get there.  The trip out was, as usual beautiful and glorious.  The little road down is chained, but after talking with Don, we had no trepidation this time.  The last time we went out was with Cookie.  And as usual, Dino came flying out to confront us.  He has lived there for 35 years and he has managed to piss everybody in the neighbourhood off!  But we are very happy that he has put a chain up and puts the run on everyone.  As a result the property is pristine and deserted....perfect.  We talked with him for a while and he became quite jiggy with us being there.

We stayed about three hours. It was well over 90 degrees (about 30c) on that side of the island.  But....the trades were blowing so hard there were places we had trouble standing up!  I had brought a picnic so we had lunch, wandered around and I put a chair right out on the point in the ferocious wind and sat there for a very long time.  It was mind bogglingly amazing and beautiful.

A little thing I learned by going to Pachena Bay in Bamfield for years, and I mean little, was to take a thermos of coffee with cream in it to picnics or the beach.  I normally drink black coffee, but there is something about hot coffee, cream in it, outside, that is magical...at least to me.  So I sat out on that chair, in the wicked wind, drinking creamy coffee, in pure blissful peace.  Until Bill honked the car horn and scared the crap out of me.  I mean I was truly off in lala land, totally and fully oblivious to my surroundings except for wind, coffee and ocean.  Jesus Murphy!!  I flew out of that chair and, yes I shall admit it, I beat up and old stupid man.

We stopped at Zippy's on the way home for dinner and apple pie for Bill.  At home I got half the condo cleaning done so that I would have time today to go the pool and have one last swim.  When the condo is really clean I will take pics of the new floor and post them in the morning before we leave.  HOME!!!!  Yay!!!!  Can't wait.  TTYL
