Maui: Johnny Beach Boy |
Longtime readers of LAHP will recall that my daily routine on Maui includes a morning walk along the shoreline at Kapalua followed by a hike up the hill where lies the Kapalua Bay Course. One morning during this visit, I asked Johnny if he wanted to walk with me (knowing that he would probably not want to walk the full route). He agreed. We walked as far as Kapalua Beach and found this beautiful morning scene with virtually no waves and very few beachgoers. By the way, this is where the one end of the rainbow (seen in last week's LAHP) touched the earth. We did not find the pot of gold but this view is a almost as valuable. |

His dad's former house had a pool so Johnny learned to swim at an early age and we do not have to worry about him as long as he does not do anything crazy. |

But the greatest fun is not the adults but the other kids at the beach. It does not matter where they are from, what their race or ethnicity, who their parents are or even how skilled they are in the water — kids are kids and can find common ground in playing on a beautiful beach on a lovely sunny day on Maui. The only downside? "Johnny, we have to go home". "Aw, do we have to?" |
Life is good.
Aloha,
B. David
