Expensive LOVE

90

It was weird but the waves were good again today.  I arrive to the beach in the dark so I’m not expecting anything.  But to paddle out to perfect chest high waves and surf it with just a couple of your buddies, it can’t get any better.  Today was Sunday and everybody was probably sleeping, except Carter.  

This was the spray off Carter’s surfboard.  Right in my face!

And guess who got the best waves of the morning again?  Yes, Smiling Malcom!  People ask me why I get so many photos of Malcom and I tell them, “because Malcom catches all the waves!”  Haha.

The median home price in Hawaii is $1,085,800 (170,345,000 yen) now.   They say that only 1 in 5 families can afford buying a house now.  When I graduated from high school, the median price was only $200,000.  At that time, every family could afford a house.  Call it inflation or call it crazy!  No wonder locals are moving off the island.  

And a loaf of bread in Kauai will cost you $13.39.  Will things get more affordable here in Hawaii?  I don’t think so!
