2016 Cheeseburger in paradise

Day 4
Yesterday I was not kidding when I said we had winds of 35 mph and gust up to 50 mph.  Today the wind is still blowing and raining off and on.

Now the picture doesn't show you the type of day.
Breakfast

I've got my paper.

I've got a great waffle, coffee and juice.  Hey what more do you want and now the clouds are breaking up. 
Whale watching
Since we plan on going to Lahaina this morning, we just went down to the ocean to whale watch. The ocean is so choppy it was hard to see anything.  I think we sat there for an hour and saw very little activity. 
Lahaina
About 11 we went to Lahaina. We have this special place to park. It's a small lot the lets you park all day for $4.  There are places you pay $4 an hour.  What is special about the lot is how you pay. Each stall is numbered just like any other.  You go over to this box that has small slots. You fold up each dollar and push it into you slot. 

If your having problems, you can use a special key to push it dollar in.  It's it. You have no credit card or the problem of having the dollar that is too-wrinkled and it keeps coming out.  Just keep it simple.
We plan on only staying two, three hours a one time. 
Cheeseburger in paradise
If you go to Lahaina you must go eat at cheeseburger in paradise. 

Okay we a not arm wrestling. Clela wanted to hold hands. Awe. You know we're old and our arms don't always bend. Do you believe that? Strange pic. 
Gold necklace
I've got these real nice t-shirts and I think a nice gold necklace would look good.  Now if you know me I don't do well in jewelry stores and me with a gold necklace, enough said.  We looked and looked and could not find a "mans" necklace in Lahaina. 
Wind and rain
This island like all the Hawaiian islands are all the same.  If it is raining in one place just get in your car and go a couple miles away. Had a good example of this today. It was raining and the wind was blowing at our resort. When we got to Lahaina the sun was shining, the wind had calmed down, the sea was calmed. Driving back the our resort it started to rain again.
Whale watching
After a short rest we went down to the ocean again. I think we found our whale watching place. 

It has shade, we are near the ocean. It just a flew steps off the walk which is good for Clela. We did see a breach and several tail slaps. On our way back to our condo we noticed the stage was setup for "The hula show". 

The senior woman is still there.
Well that it for the day. 
See ya
