House of the Sun

Yesterday Courtney and I rented a car so we could make the 2 hour trek to Mt. Haleakala, a 10,000 ft. peak that is an active volcano - responsible for making up 75 percent of the island of Maui. We left at 3:45 am this morning so that we could go and see the sunrise. Haleakala means house of the sun. These pictures will do a good job of describing why


It was interesting being so high up this morning. It felt like we were in Whistler at the top of the mountaint. It was sooooo cold! We wore hoodies and jeans. Then, as soon as we got down the mountain the weather was great and we went to the beach.
