The King of Hana

While on Maui we decided to enjoy the road to Hana. It is one of the best experiences I have ever had! The road is completely insane as it is really one lane but traffic still goes in both directions around winding curves between rock and ocean for about 54 miles! Fun but nerve wracking! After a long and unbelievably pleasant day we were driving slowly back along this road when suddenly a local pulled out in front of us going quite a bit faster than we were (of coarse he knew the road much better). We decided to follow him for two reasons: 1. He knew what he was doing and was cutting our time almost in half. 2. The guy sitting in the truck bed was really amusing! He was facing forward (rather than backward like most truck bed sitters do). He had his feet through the cab window and he had a long trailing scarf around his head. This made him look like one of those guys in the old movies that race chariots or something. We decided to name him "The King of Hana" and proceeded to laugh at, and love him all the way back to civilization. Thanks King! You made a wonderful splash at the end of a long and perfect day!!
