Moomomi Bay Molokai Hawaii, USA
Thursday's Adventure
We started our day with biscuits and gravy and bloody marys (great batch of both if I do say so myself :-). We then had a leisurely morning... each of us doing our own thing... Joanne finished her mid-term and submitted it, Tony and Earl were into their computers and I went down to the picnic table below the house and read.
About noon we headed out for another new beach discovery. We first stopped at a tiny general store off the beaten track and I picked up some Lilikoi Butter.... a heavenly passion fruit flavored butter that will be wonderful on toast. We then stopped by the Specialty Coffee house and they had a wonderful little gift shop next door. I bought a great Molokai post card ready for framing and a wooden tropical fish mobile to hand in my office as a reminder of a great time :-)
We finally headed out to find Mo’omomi Bay. Lots of off road today… we were on a lot of roads that came to dead ends but we also found some beautiful ocean views… only one sandy beach but no real water access because of all the rock but some spectacular ocean activity.
We ended the day at the Kualapu’u Cookhouse for prime rib, crab stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon and sweet chili sauce and spicy ahi. We were serenaded by a couple of local boys – Hawaiian tunes and blasts from the past. Dessert was a chocolate macadamia nut pie… yummy !
We’re back home now, doors wide open, sound of the ocean lulling us into a relaxed state of mind.
Life is good :-)
More pictures will be added tomorrow from Joanne's camera.
