Maui Babe 4

Another fun day in paradise. Today's objective: Dominate a Volcano.
I set my alarm for the wrong time, and wake up at midnight. Not fun. Finally got up and on our way. My journey started a little past a tiny town called Piea'a. As a bunch of semi-shivering tourists sit and wait to get their biking gear from a bunch of men that constantly look like bums. One struck a conversation with me and come to find he was actually sealed in the Saint George temple, how sweet! I quickly get my gear to act like I know what I'm doing just a little bit more than the rest of these 'shoebees'. When I'm done I need to pee. The biking place is only a small room that was once a canary, so I have to go into the back into a big hallway. At the end of the hallway there is a sound that resembles a rock concert. The sign said, chapel but I wasn't sure. The door was open so I took a peek through the dark room. I almost giggled at the sight. I'm not dissing them. I want to go to other religious activities, but I'm so used to mine any other just seems weird. These guys looked like a bunch of beatniks getting high to the sound of music. I kept my cool and relived myself without offending anybody. At the top of the mountain like volcano I noticed a beautiful couple in matching biking shorts/suspenders. Their awkwardness alone attracted my attention. The tour guide got out our bikes, and we were soon on our way. We spend down the mountain like a bobsled team in the middle of summer. I stopped frequently to take advantage of the beautiful view since we were at the top of a beautiful island that anywhere you look is from the Jimmy Buffet calendar collection. A few of my favorites was the plastic horse ranch, the convenient cemetery (just in case you didn't make it all the way down), and a couple with me and pops. I made it down the hill in record time.
