We chose to end this day with a trip to Mama’s Fish House, one of the most famous restaurants on the island. As you can see in the the previous pics, the grounds are beautiful, there was even a wedding going on while we were eating. Tina and Shirley had the house special Mahimahi in macadamia nut sauce and I had another fish,ono, and kaluha pig with grilled island fruits and vegetables. It was scrumptious. Tina had a pudding for desert and Shirl and I had a chocolate pie dark chocolate mousse over a layer of thick caramel on a ground chocolate cookie crust…to die for. Then we went out onto the beach and played. I looked for shells and coral, and we watched the sun going down. After about an hour and a half trip back to our motel, we were all ready to turn in from a very satisfying day.
Continuing along our road for the day, we came upon the town of Paia (Pie-e-ah).This is where all the hippies used to hang out…and stayed. So funny to see these 70 and 80 year old hippies, but they still call this home. Town is just a couple of streets, but some very high end shops mixed in…several art galleries, too. Willie Nelson has a bar and grill here and that’s where we had lunch one day. This shop was full of beautiful assorted work by many artisans. I bought a lovely purse here.
