Maui island is made by two volcanos, Halemahina (House of the Sun) and Haleakalā (House of the Moon). Today, we were going to circle the West Maui. Halemahina is the older volcano of the two. The mountain is covered by heavy forest. Although there are many drainage caused by erosion, there is no path to reach the peak, Pu’u Kukui, which receives more than 400 inches of rainfall every year.

2009.4.18We arrived at Maui at noon. It is not as hot as we thought. When we went to Oahu 4 years ago, the first impression once we got off the plane was it is very humid. Not here in Maui.
