Finding Enson Inoue….

194

good morning. feeling pretty good today. i ate the healthiest possible dinner last night. shirasu, raw shirasu, baby squid all fresh from yamari, japan. 3 more days, i’ll lose 5 kilos and be healthier than ever. got a great diet coming up this week consisting of fish and vegetables. then i’m going back to japan so i can get fat again. i just can’t resist the good food, cold beers, and great times. have a nice day….

people like to talk about killing 2 birds with one stone. me? i like to kill 3 birds with one stone. in this short week i have, i have a meeting with kyle, i have to dive to get back into shape, and i want to catch dinner for the week. so today, i’m going free diving. another productive day….

hey, get this. i got a call from enson when i was driving to kansai airport. one of his friends told him that i wrote about him on my blog so he contacted me. i was so stoked! shit, i was just in shikoku earlier that day and if i got a call one day earlier, i would probably have met up with him to at least give him some water so he doesn’t have to drink it out of the river. yeah, i read one of enson’s blogs and he wrote that he had to drink water from the river? that’s crazy… anyway, we had a great conversation. he’s in ehime on temple 40 something. he’s in good spirits and is enjoying shikoku. gosh, i got to give him a lot of credit for taking on such a challenge. i asked him how much longer he has? he said about another month? eeh?? that’s nuts…
anyway, to who ever enson’s friend is. thank you for putting us in contact. enson loves shikoku, and he loves to free dive. sounds like somebody i know. haha.. hopefully we can hook up someday and exchange stories about the country we both love, JAPAN….
and to enson, “hey, your almost there. i’m stoked to see a hawaiian do something so deep in the japanese culture. i’ll be following your blog and cheering you on. ganbatte ne!!!”
