Kimura-san is the best guide in Wakayama.  He knows the best of the best so we just follow him.  

Every morning, we went for a long walk.  Fresh air and beautiful scenery.

Yamari’s been here for hundreds of years.  

This is were I did my morning exercising.  Very quiet and peaceful.  

These old Japanese boats are very strong.  Wish I could bring one back to Hawaii. 

The master chef show of how to cut a tuna.  

Take out sushi for lunch. 

An afternoon walk along the Wakayama Castle. 

Things like this remind me of my Grandparents.  So beautiful. 

I ordered this breakfast at a restaurant.  The waitress comes back and said “Sorry, we don’t have eggs because it’s too expensive.  Instead of the egg, you will get served bacon.”  then she left.  In Japan, you understand.  In America, you complain.  That’s the difference.  Haha.

For Universal-City?

Good morning 4:15am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and good.
Trade winds back today at 20mph.
Cloudy becoming sunny.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

After surfing Bowls early this morning, I felt like it wasn’t enough.  So I waited for the lighting storm to pass and went to check out Diamond Head.  It got really good!

Lots of waves so I grabbed my foil and flew around.  Just that 15 minute session was a better workout than my 2 hour morning surf session.  It was the best exercise since I got back from Japan.

Then another storm was approaching so I went home before it showed up.

My lifetime memory.  BEGIN!

The night before the concert, we got lucky as Begin’s Masaru-san sang us a song.  It doesn’t get much better than that.

After good music and good friends, food and drinks tastes even better than ever.  I miss Japan already!
