Elaine Malina is the Agriculture Supervisor at the Maui Tropical Planation. Her company owns most of the mountain behind the plantation
|
|
|
|
Elaine was very knowledgable and answered our questions about the plants and such.

explaining about the Plantation

She has been on Maui for 24 years. They take care of the 60 acre farm.

Sad reminder of people who died on this road
|
|
|
|
I guess this Truck was "done" and it got pushed off the edge? Or it could have been an accident?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either way, no one bothered retrieving it. There were lots of junked cars around.
|
|
|
|
I guess it is cheaper to scrape off the serial number and junk the car somewhere than to pay to take it to the dump?

Museum near Kahakaloa village. We liked this picture
|

And this one too...
|
|
|
|
But this was our hands down favorite. They said they sold 500 hundred of these prints. They weren't cheap, either!

Mar 12, 2006 - Email from Daniela & Gunnar:
Hello from Germany to Utah! How are you doing?
We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your stay on Hawaii! We had a lot of fun,
also on Oahu for the wedding of our friend. Now we are back in Germany and
already had a look at your website, where we found all the holiday-memories, and
also our pictures at the Blowhole...very nice!! Now we would like to ask
you for one big favour: could you please send us the picture from the Blowhole
as a file in an email, so that we would have it in a bigger size? We would like
to include this picture in our presentation and so it would be great to have it
as a bigger size.
Thanks so much in advance, it was nice to meet you and thanks again for taking
our picture! Best regards from Germany,
Daniela & Gunnar
