Wednesday September 17, 2014 Lahaina, Maui, HI

I think we were still tired from yesterday.  We nursed our coffee and spent most of the day at our unit.  We unpacked, read and did stuff on the computers.

In the afternoon I walked to the ABC store for a few items. There is a gate from the Papakea property (http://www.astonatpapakea.com/our-resort/) to the store , it requires a key card to come back to the resort.

In the late afternoon and early evening we sat on the patio, We are in a first floor unit so we can walk out doors to the pool or beach beyond the pool.  There is no beach directly along the resort.  There is a wall that drops down about 6 feet to the ocean.  Waves hit the wall directly.  There are sandy beaches a little ways in either direction.

Just before sunset we walked out and sat at the edge of the grass near the wall.  Occasionally waves were large enough that we got a few drops of spray. We sat and took pictures, enjoying the sights and sounds.  I took a series of pictures as the sun progressed to the sea. As you can see there wasn't a lot of color, but we enjoy all sunsets.  

A couple of distant sailboats are in some of the pictures.
At dark we returned to our unit. I had been watching the sunset and when I turned toward the buildings I was surprised at the number of people that were sitting doing the same as we had been.

Back in our room I read while Gerri pursued her egg game.  We had a good dinner consisting of chicken wraps rolled up with a Greek yogurt dip and Quinoa salad.  We followed that with wedges of mango and pineapple.

Dinner was followed by more reading and computer time. Gerri went to bed at about 11.   I stayed up until a little after midnight and finished my Inspector Rostnikov mystery novel, by Stuart M. Kaminsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_M._Kaminsky). We will probably be fully adjusted to Hawaiian time difference soon.
