West Maui day

Today we drove (we: Tommy, Deb and I) all the way around the northwest part of Maui. Lahaina is mostly a tourist trap... jewelry stores, art galleries (Peter Max!) and cheesy souvenir shops. We stopped for lunch at Cheeseburger In Paradise, and visited the Wo Hing Temple, to get a little Chinese History.
With a little exploration, we found the giant Buddha at the Jodo Mission. (pics will be uploaded tomorrow...) Then we continued our trek up along the coastline. We stopped at an overlook point around Kahana, and spied some whales in the water!
The road around the top of the island is narrow and windy, a lot like the road to Hana - and similar to Rte 101 along Big Sur in CA! I was glad Tommy was driving. :)
