i had an awesome day yesterday with the newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Tojo. Takao-san and Tomoko-san had their wedding a couple of days ago in hawaii! congratulations! since it was their first time to hawaii, we surfed 2 rounds and did some sightseeing.

for lunch, we ate what every hawaiian loves to eat, POKE!

then took a drive to the beautiful east side.

then we went to sandy beach 3 times!!! one on the way there, one on the way back, and then again after i forgot to stop to to get sand. so we turned around and it was probably the first time in my life i went to sandy beach 3 times in 1 hour. haha.

i still think that this is the most beautiful view in hawaii, possibly in the world. every time i go there, it takes my breath away.

and to see the acts of nature still amazes. check out this rain squall coming right for us. so beautiful!

then i took them to a $4M open house on the top of round top. someday one of us will buy it! haha.

then my favorite waiola shave ice for a snack before our afternoon surf session. it’s the first time i tried lemon-lime flavor. it was good!

then we surfed in the afternoon and the waves were perfect! super long lefts, off shore, and uncrowded. oh, and very very shallow. Takeo-san, Tomoko-san, and i surfed until our arms wouldn’t let us surf anymore. we were all so tired and satisfied. thank you both for a wonderful day of surf, sights, food, and laughs! wish you the brightest future ahead!

little by little, the new rainbow at the hilton hawaiian village rainbow tower is showing. cool!

then i came home and had an easter egg hunt and ate corn with my grand nephew. such a lovable kid.
long day yesterday, long day again today, and longer day again tomorrow. so many things to do before i leave and so little time. better get started!
