Scotch Whisky and a Fireplace

I received a very interesting gift for Christmas.  Williams Sonoma only makes high quality products so this was exciting.  

These gold cubes is for drinking good whisky.  You put them in the freezer and it turn into ice.  Except, it doesn’t water down your high quality whisky.  It makes it perfectly chilled.

So it was time to try it out.  Poured some custom made Bowmore whisky from Islay into a glass and watched it chill.

The first sip is always the best.  The smokey flavor, the floral aroma, and the memories running wild.  

Sat in front of a fireplace and sipped it very slowly.  Then feel asleep right in front of this fireplace.  Oh what a great night…

Zoo to Peace

I don’t remember the last time going out to the West side.  But today was the day if you wanted clean waves.  It was a beautiful morning.

Boot Camp continues.  Imagine taking off on a wave and your coach is yelling in your ear?  Haha.  

If you go to the cleanest spot on the whole island, don’t expect to surf by yourself.  It got really crowded so we left.  It was like a zoo out there today!  

After that crazy morning session, we drove to the other side of the island and paddled out to a secret spot that never lets me down.  Always calm, peaceful, and nobody around.  

Imagine going from a zoo to a natural park.  That’s what it felt like.  It was so peaceful that you forget where you are.

We exchanged waves, practiced, and did more Boot Camp.  No matter how peaceful it can get, I’m still yelling in your ear.  Haha.
