PIZZA FOR LUNCH AT LAHAINA VILLAGE
From my balcony, I can see into the water at an angle which sometimes gives me an advantage over being down on the beach. I can also hear the yells of excited people on the beach when they see something out in the ocean. I have heard reports of sea turtles close to shore but not yet seen any until this morning. A sea turtle estimated to be about three feet from front to back swam parallel to the beach maybe fifteen yards from shore. With the water right near the edge of sunlight and the shadow of my building, I was able to capture only one picture of the turtle. I could not get any more pictures because it swam in and out of the morning sunlight and the shadows of all the resorts. About the distance of two football fields from shore some whales played and were visible for a long period of time. The morning sun glistened on their bodies as they broke the surface. One time I saw a breach which occurs when the body of the whale comes out of the ocean, spins, and returns to the water with a splash. The beautiful palm trees between me and the whales interfered with picture taking. The public transit system here is so efficient even with transfers and is inexpensive. An all day pass is only $2.00. I believe I have finished my shopping excursions until I am home next Thursday.
