"All good things must come to an end" (I guess). We asked the girls what they wanted to do on our last day on Maui. It was not a difficult choice for either of them....they wanted to visit the Olivine Pools and the Blowhole one more time. When we got to the Pools, we were amazed at the ocean's fury. The pools were not calm and relaxing, like they were about 1 week ago. They were being washed out to sea by huge waves crashing into the shore. It was too dangerous to venture close to the pools, so we headed to the Blowhole. What a sight to see on this day!! We thought it was neat before, but with the huge waves, the blowhole was spectacular.
I love this picture (the blowhole "exploding" as a monster wave crashes onto the rocks)!
This area was to the right of the blowhole....today there were tidal pools in the rocks. You can see another huge wave as it crashes over the rocks, whereas a week ago, the waves were well below the rocky coastline of the island. 
It was fascinating, and scary, at times to watch the ocean's fury beat against the island's ragged coastline. We have never experienced waves this large and powerful before. We are not sure of the cause, but the skies were sunny and the temperature was still an awesome 80 degrees.
