Lorraine's Shaved Ice // A real Maui gem!

 

Matt's parents told us about this little place to get shaved ice called Lorraines...they said it was up this one lane road in a little town in the mountains of Maui and that it was actually in a carport. Well ... they weren't kidding! The one lane road was pretty tricky - all of a sudden the state highway "ends" and it turns into a (recently paved) very skinny one lane around the mountain. One wrong move and, well, you get the idea! At one point we had to stop and help a van back into a turn off point so that cars coming in the opposite direction could get through. It was quite crazy. Once we got to the town we were trying to figure out where this place was ... and then we came upon a driveway that had a sign that said shaved ice and banana bread. We pulled in and it was kind of like going to your grandma's house ... she came out and greeted us, we went into her carport and there was the ice shaving machine and a bunch of flavors! Her secret? Putting ice cream into the bottom of the cup so you have a great finish! She also had a ton of different flavors, and none of us were allowed to get the same one ;) Once we got our shaved ice (and yes, it was INCREDIBLE) she showed us into the backyard where she had a few lawn chairs set up for people to enjoy the view. We also sampled her coconut "woodchips" and she showed us a fern that closes up whenever you touch it. So fun! Whenever we travel we love finding places like this where we get off the resort and out to meet real people. Enjoy the view from Lorraine's backyard ;)
