The first day, in Maui

So the first day of vacation, we climbed a hill, turned around, and saw this:




Straight ahead is looking northeast - to the right there is Haleakala (pronounced holly-ah-kala), where we'll be in a few days for the sunrise. This hike was pretty fantastic -tons of great birds with incredible calls, perfect weather, and almost no other hikers the whole way up and down. Luckily, we were able to find bandaids for blisters!
