Maui has some funny animals… and even funnier people…

There was this house across the street from our hotel…

They had a high school reunion that lasted for days. One night, the Hawaiian guy who lived here stayed up all night drinking and chanting… well… it was a cross between chanting and a primal scream… and he had chickens in his yard…

I got some pictures of the mama chicken and her babies… there was also a mongoose, but he was too fast for me to get his picture…

There were a lot of birds on Maui besides the red-headed cardinals that I already showed you…

There were also lots of Mynah birds… They never did play shuffleboard, and neither did we…

And these friendly little fellows…

I still don’t know how many of these species are native and which were introduced by people. When we took our morning walks, we would see these holes in the sand. I got curious and stood on the beach one morning without moving for a while, and finally saw what lived in the holes…

Wait, I can do better than that…

There you go. We also saw these huge snails…

I should have stuck something in the picture to give it some scale…

Because these were the largest snails I have ever seen.

    wow…those snails…you could write a monster snail story now.

  2. What’s a mongoose? Did you have snails for dinner?

  3. That’s quite a front yard display! I wonder what all of those household appliances are doing there? Maybe he was starting a yard sale or something and lost interest after a while. Hmmmm…..

  4. I didn’t see the mongoose, but I’m sure it was there. Why would you lie? Also, cross between chanting and a primal scream? Are you sure he wasn’t just praying?
