Maui - Day 7

(Above) Jeff said to title this picture: "Welcome to Middle-Age." 39 1/2, driving a Ford Mustang convertible and wearing an aloha shirt? Yep, that pretty much means you're middle-aged.

We started this morning in Upcountry Maui in a little town called Makawao. It's the cowboy country in Maui. We went on a 3 hour horseback ride on the 800 acre Pi'iholo Ranch up in the mountains. The scenery was beautiful. The weather constantly changed from rain and fog to glorious sunshine. I was a little scared at first. Horses are one of the few things I am really kind of scared of. They're just so HUGE and strong. I'm always imagining getting kicked or thrown. Jeff was a natural from the get-go. After the first 20 minutes or so I relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

After horseback riding, we headed back for some boogie boarding and body surfing at the beach in front of our condo. The waves were much bigger today. It is actually a pretty good workout. Jeff is much better at it, but I still have fun.

Then it was off to Lahaina for a luau. We went to the Feast at LeLe luau. It really was an idyllic setting. We were right on the beach at sunset. They even gave us real lei's as we walked in. Our servers were in lava lavas, they had fire/knife dancers, and relaxing hawaiian music. The show was great. The food was great. It was a 5 course meal over 3 1/2 hours. Fun, fun, fun!
