Nov 23, 2018. Thanksgiving Day, Touring Up Country
Thanksgiving Day Nov 23; we toured Up Country – the slopes of Mount Haleakala. Much cooler climate, by 12 degrees (F). Very quiet because not much open. Drove through the small towns of Pukulani, Makawao (walked the main street, very 60’s), and Haiku. Drove up the slopes of Mount Haleakala into farm country; very lush. Had lunch in Paia at the only open restaurant, a Mexican place. Then went to Hookipa Beach for some big surf and surfers and turtles. We got there at 2:00 pm and turtles were coming and going in and out of the ocean.
