pretty cool setup at this hotel i’m staying at.  the prices at hotels in Bali are 1/4 of the ones in Hawaii.  so my advice is to spend a little more to get a lot more…and you should always include the breakfast options because it’s amazing.  started off with hot milk tea and fresh watermelon juice…then my nashi goren which is Indonesia fried rice.  after a nice breakfast like this, it’s time to go to the beach.and as much as you can, go get a massage.  a 1 hour foot and shoulder massage will only cost you $6.  and a good shiatsu massage will only cost $5.  so why not right?  but this girl doesn’t look too happy massaging my stink feet.  haha. i was texting Kelia and Seth during the contest.  so fun to communicate with these kids now days.  and so happy to see them having a good time in France.  i couldn’t believe they rushed the interview and almost broke down the wall.  good thing i wan’t there because it would have broken down for sure.  haha.i want to congratulate my friend Carter for getting his black belt in Gracie Jujitsu!  i know how hard he trained and focused to reach this ultimate dream.  so as of today, i will hire him to be my bodyguard.  haha…  congratulations Carter!

i would fly to Bali just to eat at my favorite restaurant.  so right when i landed, that is exactly where i went straight from the airport.  arrived there right in time for the daily fresh catch.  started off with vegetables.  very healthy and very tasty.  Indonesian style…now this is the main course.  from the ocean, to the grill, to the table.  i can’t describe how tasty this fish is!  it’s absolutely the best grilled fish i’ve ever had.  and both of these only cost a few dollars…these dipping sauces are amazing.  i’m trying to find out how to take some back to Hawaii…

then straight to my hotel to meet up with Mike Woo.  he came to drop off my new foil boards!  looking so good!woke up early in the morning and tested out my new 4’6.  waves were fun.  water wasn’t as cold as i thought.  and surprisingly no jelly fish!  and board worked amazing.  then went to buy a ETC card or electronic card so i can use the new bypass.  jumped on it yesterday and felt good to drive a car without hundreds of motorcycles flying around you.

6am now and going to meet up with Mike, grab another board, eat breakfast, and go foiling.  have a wonderful day!

I went treasure hunting today.  Found this!
