2026 Feb 21 | Maui: Sacred Garden, Kula Country Farms, rodeo



Lots of sand built up around the entrance from us going to the beach. Good thing there's a broom and dust pan.



The pool has color-changing lights at night.



Two cats out in the morning when I go down to get coffee for Ogii.



Nice dolphin statutes on the ceiling of the lobby.



Breakfast.



Back to the beach for sunrise, and there's a sea turtle coming onto the beach.



With Ogii.



Walking south on the beach, under this big tree.



More trees and rocks.



Looking back north.



I thought this rock partially covered in moss was cool.



There are sea turtles in the rocks.



One's head.



Shell.



Another head.

Head and shell.



Shell and flipper.



They were getting pushed around by the waves. I wonder if that annoys them.



Ogii getting pictures of them.



And video.



A single sailboat in front of Moloka‘i.



This kid was out fishing. He caught a few small fish.



A bunch of these large rugs were half-covered in sand.



Ogii's feet sometimes got covered by the incoming waves.



Which means more sand in our room. Good thing we have the broom and dust pan.



These birds on telephone wires look like notes on a musical staff. I wonder if they ever organize themselves into a song.



A chicken back at our place by the pool.



Time to enjoy the convertible.



Dog in the back of a pickup.

It was a popular stop.
