Surfing Goat Dairy Farm!

We were originally going to go to Haleakala crater to watch the sunrise, but when we woke up at 2:30 in the morning Ben was still tipsy from unlimited Mai Tai's from the Luau and I was exhausted. So this will be tomorrow's adventure.

First, we had lunch at Pita Paradise here in Kihei, which was AMAZING! ... I seem to be saying that about all the food here. Then we (Ben and some of his siblings) went to the Surfing Goat Dairy farm... It really is called that! The farm is located on the lower slopes of the Haleakala crater in Kula. The 30 minute drive turned into 45 minutes because none of the streets are labeled and navigations don't work very well. We drove through Hawaii farm country and past the Maui dump. The farm was lined with beautiful white picket fences and huge palm trees. We didn't do any of the formal tours, but we fed some of the adult goats hay and watched the baby goats play on a surfboard! Then we did the cheese tasting which included their most popular flavors. They also had some unique mixtures like jalepeno and artichoke, smoked salmon, mango chutney, and olive oil and herb. I bought some of the smoked salmon one to put on my morning bagels here, as well as, goat milk soap (super moisturizing) and chocolates made with goat milk. Overall, it was a fun little place to visit and I would definitely go back to do one of their tours. Then we all just went to the beach. Sadly, it was super windy and pretty cloudy, but we did see some whales in the distance!
