We went on a beautiful upcountry (that means part-way up Haleakala) walk yesterday, enjoying the cooler temperatures at 3000 ft elevation (it was about 73F compared to Kihei's 89F), but humid and overcast. Actually, it was perfect, except for my kids' whining, 'are we there yet?'
We ended up having lunch at Ulupalakua's General Store, a quick wine tasting at Maui's Winery, and coffee and carrot cake at.... can you guess?
