Our adventure today was a scenic ride on the Sugar Cane Train. Contrary to the name, there was no sugar cane lesson or anything remotely relating to sugar cane. The ride was a scenic one through the old whaling town of Lahaina. After the ride, we visited the Cannery Mall for a little lunch and shopping. N and A both opted for a ukulele as a souvenir. Yikes! What was I thinking? A also got a grass skirt and a tiny coconut bra to wear and dance the hula. Like a typical teenager, J opted to buy sunglasses and t-shirts.
After the shopping, part of the group headed back to the house while the remainder stayed in Lahaina to visit the whaling museum. They are still not back so I have no idea how it was. On the way home,we stopped at a little farmer's market and got a coconut for A so she could drink the milk. She'd been saying she wanted to drink milk from a coconut for weeks prior to the trip. Coconut milk is now her favorite drink she says. At least it was until she drank some after eating potato chips. Then she decided it was nasty. I guess salty chips just don't mix well with fresh cocunt milk.
Tomorrow's adventure is an all day snorkeling trip, followed by the Royal Lahaina Luau. The boat will take us out at 8am and we will stay out til mid afternoon. Breakfast and lunch are included. Then we have a few hours to relax and get ready for the traditional Hawaiin Luau.
