my sister keeps on telling me to post more photos of the kids on my blog. what?? hey tammy, if you knew how much i’m sweating using internet at the beach warung, you would know why i don’t post more photos. the connection is slow here so it takes forever to upload a photo. and by the time we get back from a long day in the hot sun, we’re all dead beat. but since i’m a nice brother, i’ll sweat for 30 more minutes uploading these next 2 photos while the rest of the group is lying down in their cool air conditioned rooms. i rode my bike here, i’m dusty, sweaty, and tired. you owe me some cool ice cream when i get back to hawaii…
tam, wanna know how the kids are doing? they are great!! the scored perfect waves everyday!! they don’t want to go home yet!! their level of surfing went up two notches!! their outlook on life probably went up two notches too!! i just wish you were here to see them experience the things they are. save up money because next year, we’re going on an indonesia boat trip!! didn’t tony tell you already? haha…
and yes, they are both doing their homework. we are leaving bali tonight at midnight, isaiah is going to narita, tony, seth, and i are going to shikoku. as soon as i get a fast internet connection, i’m going to post lots of photos, and respond to the hundreds of emails i got since last week. oh, and fix my aching teeth. and start packing for mentawai. and eating sushi. and drinking sake. and taking 2 hour daily naps in the afternoon. we have to leave now so better get going. your family will be home soon, i will get home on may 3 and i’ll be waiting from my ice cream. see ya…
the second day i broke my board and i was pretty bummed. check out my new rocker. haha…
