Snorkeling in Hawaii and Dinner in Old Lahaina

More Hawaii. Ok, I'll admit it. The weather in Vancouver stinks right now and looking back through these pictures makes it just a little bit more bearable (along with healthy doses of our Happy Light 6000). 
 This is the view inland from the beach. Up on the hill is the coffee farm.
 That's me snorkling. 
 This is me coming out to tell Liz that it looks like Finding Nemo down there.
OK. This picture I pulled off the internet from the beach where I was snorkeling to give you an idea of what I saw. 
 Here I'm telling Liz that there was a fish this big down there. And there was one that I called a highlighter fish because its looked like someone colored it with several different highlighters.
And then...there was this one fish that was really funny looking.
Apparently it's the state fish of Hawaii. The humuhumunukunukuapua'a which in Hawaiian means "fish that grunts like a pig". And that's my snorkeling adventure.
 Here's Liz at dinner. You can't tell from the picture but we're eating on a balcony right on the beach. Waves are crashing against the wall to Liz's left.
 Here I am outside Kimo's restaurant after dinner. Downtown Lahaina is pretty cool because the touristy historic downtown is right on the water. 

Finally, we got some Hawaiian Shave Ice from Ululani's. Its kind of like a really huge snowcone without that packed ball of ice feel. which brings us full circle back to Canada, the great white north. or more appropriately for Vancouver, the great wet north.
