Visit Makawao and Paia - April 7, 2021

We got up early and admired the beautiful Maui scenery from our room's balcony.  You can see the ocean in a close distance. What a wonderful sight!
We chose to have a buffet style breakfast inside the resort. The air was fresh, the sky was blue with white clouds. What a relaxing and beautiful day in Maui. After breakfast, we checked with hotel concierge to find local stores. They suggested to visit Makawao and Paia. 
Thanks to our designated drivers Mimi and Alice for taking turns to do all the driving for us in Hawaii. The road to Makawao is pretty good, with the help of google maps, we arrived at Makawao in over an hour.  It is a small town with shops lined up on both sides of the main street. We checked them out one by one and they are all very interesting.  We have fish tacos and freshly squeezed orange juice for lunch. Around the same time, we heard a rooster crowing near by.  Helen found the rooster next to the restaurant.  Mimi and Helen took pictures and videos of this beautiful rooster. We laughed whenever we heard his crowing from recorded videos on our phones.
We continue our journey to Paia.  The traffic got pretty bad and there was no place to park.  So, we decided to go back to Four Seasons.

We all dressed up for dinner at Spago inside the resort.  This Wolfgang Puck restaurant offers California cuisine with local Hawaiian flavors. We shared all dishes and pre-ordered chocolate soufflé for dessert.
