This was a full and fun day. Even though there was a 50% chance of rain, the day turned out sunny and nice. After breakfast we started out with a long walk along the boardwalk. This picture was taken at the Westin which is just South of where we're staying.
One of the things we like about the place we're staying is the thoughtful design of the swimming pools.
First there is a general pool that is used by everyone.
To the right of this pool, behind the restaurant on the right above are the children's pools. There are several including one with a water slide. There is an attendant at the top to make sure the children go down one at a time and to be sure the previous child is clear of the slide. There is even a hot tub.
Finally, on the other side of the children's pool is a winding, adults pool. Kids can use it with their parents, but there are signs asking that this section be a quiet, restful place.
In the afternoon we drove down the West coast of Maui. We discovered that our friends, Tammie and Mark, who have a cattle ranch in Northern California, are also in Maui. We visited with them at a beach close to where they were staying.
While we were there we noticed a whale doing fin slaps on the water where the whale raises it's fluke high up into the air and then slaps it down into the water. We also noticed there was someone on a paddle board who was close by.
We didn't realize how close he was until we saw this picture.
We're going to meet Mark and Tammie again on Sunday morning and go to the local United Methodist Church for their service.
All in all a good day.

Those pools like beautiful - especially the quiet, relaxing adult one. That whale photo is amazing!
Would love to try out those pools. Snow is returning here and single digits later in the week. Ugh!
Wish we had come by your place, those pools are lovely. :-). Thanks for coming by and seeing us. It was fun. We still can hardly believe how close the paddle boarder was to the whale. Wow. What a shot!
