The other day we decided to get out of Pa'ia and venture west across the island to Lahaina. We've pretty much done most of the things there are to do here in our little town so we thought it would be nice to see other parts of Maui, especially when you hear it's one of the nicest areas. Thankfully, I was able to navigate us through the bus system and to our destination.
Lahaina is a town set right on the water, with tons of art galleries (my haven), souvenir shops, and small restaurants along the main strip. Once we got there Courtney immediately sniffed out Cheeseburger in Paradise, the setting for our lunch. Great food and a warm staff, just what we like.
Many of the places we went into here have a very friendly and accommodating staff, no doubt they're great salespeople, but it gives the whole town a warm and welcoming vibe. I also found my love for Peter Lik, one of the greatest landscape photographers today, after we strolled around his gallery. Such incredible pieces of work, I only wish I could afford one. Although, I did end up buying a hammock! The guy was so sweet I couldn't resist.
There are a few places to check out the history behind Lahaina, and if your nerdy side is calling it's an interesting activity, but sadly it's just not my cup of tea.
There's plenty of space to relax with some gelato and watch boats dock at the park. Find some space under a tree, spread out, and just listen to the water bob against the rock wall.
All-in-all Lahaina was a wonderful way to spend our day and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the island.
