*This is BY FAR the most picture-intensive blog post I hope I ever have the privilege of writing! Whew!*
On our "free day" we rented a Jeep and did the drive to Hana. If you ever go to Maui and wonder "what is the one thing I should do here?" then please please please remember that I told you that YOU MUST DRIVE TO HANA. We spent aaaaaalllllllll day on the drive (it's only about 40 miles but we stopped--a lot--along the way to hike, explore, eat lunch, etc.). The road to Hana has approximately 600 curves and 54 one-lane bridges, not to mention a breath-taking view around each corner. It's easy to see why such a "short" road takes such a long time to drive!
We drove past Ho'okipa Beach Park again 
Twin Falls
Waikamoi Ridge Trail
Kaumahina State Wayside Park
Kenae
Wailua Valley Lookout
a look back at the road we were driving on....scary!!!
Pua'a Ka'a State Wayside Park
where I was coerced into walking across this narrow ledge (while praying that my knees didn't give out on me so that I wouldn't plunge to my death!) so we could hike up into a secluded waterfall
Wainapanapa State Park
Beautiful black sand beach, caves, and lava water pools
Is it obvious how much we liked watching the waves crash on the lava rocks?! :)
St. Joseph Church
more interesting terrain
and a beautiful sunset to end a lovely day!
