It's still very beautiful, though, and still lots of places to escape the crowds.Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-82011202297672587402010-03-10T00:22:15.847-08:002010-03-10T00:22:15.847-08:00Hi Micah--glad to hear from you--thanks for the ki...Hi Micah--glad to hear from you--thanks for the kind words.Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-69272387200431425002010-03-10T00:19:54.145-08:002010-03-10T00:19:54.145-08:00Thanks for your comment, Susan.Thanks for your comment, Susan.Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-35563757710420249942010-03-10T00:16:29.024-08:002010-03-10T00:16:29.024-08:00Thanks, Last Cup.Thanks, Last Cup.Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-52838482867608299312010-03-09T08:26:17.528-08:002010-03-09T08:26:17.528-08:00This painting stood out.

We could see Molokai in the distance. At that time Maui had 35K opoulation and one street light (in Lahaina).
