gosh, it’s just been so beautiful here in hawaii for the past week. trade winds, clear blue sky, and good waves. perfect summer time enjoyment.
i was on the way down to west marine to buy some swim fins. on the way, my friend called me and asked if i could help her pick up a shelf to take to her house. i turned around and met her at goodwill where she bought the shelf. like hawaiian style, she was late. so i looked around in the goodwill store and came across something amazing! FINS!!!
i found a brand new pair of fins on the shelf. just what i was looking for!!!
i got it for only $6.99. score!!!
i had to go to west marine anyway to pick up something for the boat. then i looked how much the fins cost. yes, these are the exact same ones.
$68.95 plus tax so over $70!!! gosh, i was a very lucky shopper today. after i dropped off the shelf at my friends condo, she told me “thank you.” then i told her “o, thank you!”
i wouldn’t recommend riding a bicycle on the streets in guatemala city unless you are crazy. no rules and very fast cars. luckily i survived. but i was amazed by the things i saw. very very interesting.
there are barbed wires everywhere. barbed wires and shotguns? i guess you can say it’s a dangerous city.
there was a war not too long ago in guatemala. lots of businesses left, including the luxurious Ritz Carlton Hotel. yes, this was the Ritz Carlton in guatemala city.
now it is just a ghost hotel sitting on a side street. after i ate at a cafe nearby, i seen 8 teenagers sniffing glue and dealing drugs right on the corner. pretty crazy.
but finding amazing art like this is worth the risk. will i go back to guatemala city? probably not.
last, Warren Buffet is 84 years old and drinks 5 cokes a day. he’s not only one of the richest men in the world, he’s one of the smartest. i’ve been reading things on the internet about Mr. Buffet and i really like his business ethics and morals. going to pick up a book about this amazing man and hopefully inspire me to get rich and help the world. and starting from tomorrow, i’m going to drink 5 cokes a day!
