Mai-chan told me her dream was to surf in the 2010 olympics. don’t be surprised if you see this girl winning a medal.

ever took a selfie in the ocean? i found a way how to do it and you wouldn’t believe me if i told you how.

and you wouldn’t believe me if i told you a big tako tried to attack me. i thought i’d be the tako poke this time.

after we eat a huge mexican lunch, i was thinking “nap time?” but Mai-chan was thinking “hiking time!” haha. so we headed into the wet muddy wild.

of course, we decide to go hiking only a few minutes ago so we didn’t have shoes. another hike with slippers???

omg, the slippers didn’t work so we ended up doing the full hike and back barefoot.

yes, it was a beautiful day for both the ocean, and the mountain. from the deep blue, to the bright green.

we finally got up to the waterfall super muddy. so the only way to rinse off is to jump in the freshest mountain water! thank you Mai-chan for another adventurous day. you are super energetic and super spontaneous. i wouldn’t be surprised if you’re doing it all again today. haha. have a safe trip back to japan and remember the most important thing: enjoy your life and keep on surfing!
