What are you doing this Earth Day or as your part in helping keep the planet in better shape for future generations?
Woke up early today and spent most of the day in Lahaina, running errands with R and his mom. When we were done, we walked along the famous "Front Street". Then we had lunch at Star Noodle before heading back into town and home. We made a quick stop at Iao Valley since it was such a beautiful (but hot and humid) day!
Iao Needle is located in the Iao Valley near Wailuku near the center of Maui. It is surrounded by a very lovely walkway and garden of lush tropical plants. It was the site of one of the most famous battles in Hawaiian history. In 1790 King Kamehameha I defeated the Maui army in his quest to unite the Hawaiian Islands. It is said that when the battle was over, the stream was so damed with all the bodies that the water ran red with blood.
