Maui Swap Meet

On Saturdays on Maui there is a swap meet. The swap is money for goods. I haven't seen any old-fashioned bartering=swapping!

I went with Sabina & Rosamar today and we did a systematic sweep of the whole site, though after a while things start to look the same. You can buy orchids, fruit & vegetables, fast food snacks, bazillion rayon dresses & Hawaiian shirts for men. There is jewelry, wood work, chatchkas, bags & hats. A big cross section of Maui is there: tourists and residents.

Let's see... Sabina got new earrings. Very fetching I thought, especially with the shirt she bought the last time she was on Maui.

Rosamar & Sabina also gathered food for tomorrow. And I found the biggest avocado ever which I bought for George. It cost me $4. I got another buyer to hold it so I could show you it's size.

I found some wonderful koa salad servers. They give off the most terrific clacking sound.  In the end I bought at least 8 pairs. And a new straw hat, the brim of which started to sag after a a rather short time making seeing difficult. Of course it got abandoned as a bum purchase! And I got Maui onion mustard.

But most of all I came home with photos of food: multiples & textures. I think these look like lotus leaves, but I didn't ask.

Squash family, for sure & edible blossoms.

Finally there was a XXL shirt for $60 that I coveted. It was so rich!

OH my!! It would have swum on me & on George!! But classic!!

And I came home with good memories of fun with Sabina & Rosamar.

Christmas eve is almost here. Sundown is happening.

That's it for now.
