Yesterday was another amazing day. We started by going to church. I took a selfie before the service.

After church, we went to Lahaina. We got a parking spot right on Front Street! It was right next to that place where the ocean comes up to the railing.

Our big goal was to see the Banyan Tree, so we parked close to it. The tree was appropriately cool.

Our group made a few purchases while we were there, then we headed back to Kahului. Everyone had to fly out last night. While we were at school and everyone was changing, Desi stopped by to give me a big bag full of fifty random individually-wrapped gifts for my fiftieth birthday. Ha! It was so fun to open them! And what a funny collection of items!
