Ravi needed a break from the pressure-filled and tiring world of blogging, so I decided that I would take a shot at it for today. Being a Saturday, we decided to try to avoid really touristy spots on Maui today. We didn't know if it would make much difference, being an area whose economy focuses on tourists, but figured that we might as well drive into the wild and to explore new worlds and new civilizations...to boldly go where no ONE has gone before. So we ventured north of our resort area to the northwestern part of Maui and religiously followed our guidebook's advice to see some exciting and less-known sites.
Our first stop was Napili Beach, which was very nice and a good spot to start our snorkeling adventures. We moved on soon afterwards in our quest for novelty, and ate lunch at a definitely less known beach, where we shared the sand with one other group and watched a kite-boarder surf on a small board while also flying a kite--pretty impressive. It looked like a lot of fun, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be flying around the water for the first few hours that I tried it, so maybe next trip.
One of the highlights of the day was our next step, which was a short hike to a blowhole by the ocean. It was pretty exciting to watch the waves come in and then the water and air to shoot out of a hole in the rock. Ravi encouraged me to keep moving closer to check out what the inside of the hole looked like, but I've seen enough movies and America's Funniest Home Videos to know that would probably be a bad idea (for me). Standing nearby and getting sprayed was really neat, though.
