THE SEVEN SACRED POOLS

We took this picture at the end of our trip to the Seven Sacred Pools. If we had made the trip to Maui before Christmas then you would have been seeing this picture in all your Christmas cards instead of the one we sent from Kukio Beach.

Jeremy and Jillian went swimming in one of the pools and it was very COLD! The pools are fed with fresh water that falls as rain further up the mountain. Jillian was very brave and swam with Jeremy all the way out to the waterfall. It is very deep at that end where the water falls from the next higher pool. We're not sure how deep it was at that end, but fearless teenage boys were diving from the next higher pool.

Here is a picture looking up the falls. There are two more pools where the water is trickling down and then the others are behind us. It was tough to count all seven pools because the water flow was weak and so all the pools were not full of water.
