Today I went surfing. You may have heard that Hawaii was getting some of the biggest waves in 40 years. I didn't go anywhere near them. Instead, we drove across to the south side of the island and had some nice small waves. I wasn't sure if my ribs were healed enough to lie on a board, but I didn't have any trouble. It felt great to be able to surf again.

After surfing we went into Lahaina which is a tourist town on the southwest side of "west" Maui. Maui is actually two big volcanoes with a narrow isthmus that connects them and forms a valley. This is the main route from the north coast to the south as the roads around the ends of the island are narrow and windy.
