Spectacular Sunset Sparks

The sun setting last night was like a fireworks show. The Aloha Friday bunch at Ke’olu couldn’t stop clicking.

It started slowly.

And continued to grow glowier.


Until it reached its crescendo. 

Meanwhile to the north, Maui was a picture of pastels.

Magics Beach Grill in Kona

 

Chantal Prunier writes: “Michael and I went back to Magics Beach Grill and it is now our favorite place to enjoy the sunset over dinner in Kona. It’s cozy, right on the water off Magic Sands Beach and it offers delicious food and friendly service. It’s been open just a couple of months. Weekend nights are buzzing busy, while last night was pleasantly filled with families enjoying an early dinner. If the seared ahi and  shrimp pasta remain as well prepared, we’ll go again and again. And we’ll look forward to running into a few fellow members!”
