the whole Moniz family spent the last weekend in Molokai at their house that was in the family for generations and generations. it was their first time spending that precious time all together on the island where there roots go back hundreds of years… the Moniz Boys are well respected Hawaiians, caring, loving, and also so very kind. i love these boys. these photos where taken by Joe Termini at a very sacred fishpond… since Takahashi-san was coming to Hawaii, i took a few days off for an island getaway. and since the waves are small and the winds are gone, it’s perfect for Mayuki to take us there. so i loaded up and got ready. since there is no supermarket on the way, we have to buy and take everything for the next few days. it’s fun shopping and planning. the rest is up to the ocean to provide us with meals… loaded up 2 wagons and finally were done… started off with the drinks cooler. then i have another cooler for vegetables, and another one for meat. we will be eating very good… then went to fill up gas because there are no gas stations on the way either. watched the sunset sipping on a cold beer. this is paradise! then came in and the sky was still lit up orange. then a quick Mexican dinner. had to sleep early because it’s going to be a very long weekend ahead. taking our dive gear, fishing poles, flashlights, and of course, surfboards. just going with the flow and see where Mother Nature takes us. can’t wait…
