Then we found out why; there was a large group
of whales right off the side
of the road; maybe 150 yards out. Most people pulled over and whipped out cameras, but we kept going, after gawking in wonder.
We had called the lady with the jams and jellies, and she gave us directions to her home in Makawao, where we had a nice long chat, ordered my jam shipment, met her dog, two Maine Coone/mix cats (two more were outside).
