By the way, best store name so far: Hairbenders, in Paia.

(If you don't know why that's funny, look up airbender on Wikipedia.)

Today I put the top on the car down and went to the Maui Swap Meet and the Iao Needle, and did the Swinging Bridges hike, about a 5-mile round trip through lush forest. Then I came back, had a late lunch, finished the book I was reading, and went out for a quick swim in the ocean.

As you can see, the weather's turned lovely. It sprinkled for about five minutes as I was walking to the Mexican place for lunch, and that was it.

Tomorrow, I have no idea what I'm doing. Possibly sleeping in and kicking around Kihei. We'll see.

Lovely. Had very little sensory input today, and your holiday is spilling over into my living room.

You're going to miss your little camera when you eventually get a new one. It seems like a comfortable old friend.

It does, and I'm probably going to use it still when I get my new camera. It's small and doesn't make much noise, both of which are assets.

Also, the camera + monopod setup is working very nicely. The monopod makes getting non-blurry pictures in difficult light *so* much easier! Because my camera is so small, I can hike around with it just screwed to the top of the monopod, but for a larger camera I'd want a monood that had a quick-release plate on the top.
