eI didn’t forget them, the post just got a little long. 
First, we have Stu, the resort cat. He really reminds me of our old cat Mina, also a tux, also had a clip in her left ear.
He really must have reminded Joel of Mina, because he brought out a saucer of milk. I sort of feel sorry for the next guests, Stu will be hovering outside their back door. Well, maybe the previous guests fed him, cuz he was hanging out long before Joel gave him milk.
On the Eastern side of the island, there are a lot of feral cats these days. The problems of islands, all it takes is a male and a female to be released and you have a population of feral cats. Ask Australia, I know it’s a continent but read up about their rabbit problem.
On the southern tip we saw a family of goats. I think they belong to someone, it’s just easier to let them out to graze.
They didn’t let us approach, but they didn’t show any fear either.
I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture of Oliver, the resident dog at Java Jazz. I am very happy that my friends followed my posts on FB and told us about this fun restaurant. Persian, meets American with great live music every night. And Oliver, the sweetest dog. I was enjoying the place, so didn’t take pictures.
The remains of a crab, someone had a good meal.
Someone else has a good sense of humor. Down at La Pareuse bay are the lava fields. This area looks much more like the Big Island, the last lava flow on Maui, 1790. It is common to create ‘art’ with coral on the black lava rock. The apple was a very nice touch, any closer to the goats and they would be up there eating it.
Speaking of human creativity, it can be found all over the island.
Often it’s man and nature, the railings in Lahaina are man made of course, but sun, sea, and wind are taking their toll on the railings.
Tiki torches are everywhere and are really part of the feel of Maui.
The sunsets are amazing, I have plenty of pictures, but really, who wants to see all my sunset photos, this one is special, Joel, Craig and a glass of beer. This really captures the essence of the week.
Probably will be one more post on Maui, it is quite hard to edit myself. Then again, I don’t want to be like the old days, when people invite you over to see their 600 slides from one vacation.
