I saw this unique looking car in a parking lot in Wakayama.  It looked like a G-Class Mercedes, but very small.  

I think this guy made his Suzuki Jimny look like a Mercedes.  I thought that was pretty cool.  

For some reason, Wakayama has a lot of Indian restaurants.  Something we don’t have in Hawaii so I was craving this kind of food.  I ordered the 3 combo curry with chicken plate.  Side order of naan.  This turned out to be my favorite lunch in Japan.  Can’t wait to go back.  

3 surfboards in a 6’3 surfboard bag, then put into this 7’2 surfboard bag.  Extra padding and extra space.  $75 excess baggage fee on Hawaiian Airlines back to Hawaii.  The best way to bring surfboards and all kinds of goodies back to Hawaii.

Right when I walked into my house this morning, I cooked a cup of rice.  And right when it was done, I smothered fresh Yamari shirasu all over it.  That was my lunch.

Then dinner, put some more shirasu over my salad.  So good!!!

Atsuko-san gave me this fish she prepared.  It reminded me of the first time I went spearfishing in Wakayama.  I caught a fish, she cleaned it, cut it, and cooked it for me.  I will never forget eating that delicious nitsuke made fish with an ume on the side.  And I will never forgot it because it was the first time in my life I saw a woman clean and cook a fish so good.  I thought that was the coolest thing ever!
