Sunday Happenings

Bryan and I met up with our friend Will at Mala for brunch!  Mala is right on the water on Front Street and has a gorgeous view.

Mala has choice eats and delicious drinks.  I ordered their version of an Arnold Palmer (they add guava juice to the lemonade and iced tea drink) as I decided on what to eat.

I am a huge fan of Mala's Huevos Rancheros as well as their Chilaquiles, but I opted for one of their specials instead: the Smoked Salmon Tartine.

Delicious!!

After brunch, I walked over to the library looking forward to picking up my new requested items.  It wasn't until I was right in front of the building that I realized that the library is closed on Sundays!  And Mondays!  I won't be able to get my grubby little hands on my new books until Tuesday.  I was crushed!

But I managed to perk up and take some photos of my neighbors' beautiful orchids instead:

They are teeny tiny with delicate, spiraling petals.  So pretty!

After lamenting the library's hours, I pulled myself together, slathered on sunscreen, packed my bag and headed out to Wahikuli Beach for a solo ocean swim.  It felt great to be in the water!  These past two weeks have been filled with lots of ocean swimming, and I couldn't be happier.  I'm really glad that I'm taking full advantage of living on Maui.

During my swim out, I tried (unsuccessfully) not to think of sharks.  One of my friends killed a wounded baby Tiger Shark at this very beach just two weeks ago.  Yikes!  Everyone tells me that it's super rare to see Tiger Sharks in such shallow waters, so hopefully I will never, ever encounter one.  Scary!

After my swim, I pedaled to Officemax and Foodland Farms to run some errands, pick up some things for the house and grab a small snack (avocado poke!!).

Now I'm off to Monsoon India for dinner with Amanda!  Not a bad way to spend a day off from work!
