omg, the tomatoes in Japan are so sweet. i can eat this all day and all night. another perfect dish from En! 
and the sushi was amazing too! look at this presentation! 
when i first came to Japan, i thought this was a marijuana leaf. wouldn’t you think so too? 
want to thank Johnny for all the tow-in’s! this was the first time Tony and i towed into waves so it was pretty new to us. 
but once we figured it out, it was pretty easy. 
imagine racing each other in the open ocean and see how far you can go? we caught way too many waves. so we said we wouldn’t have to foil when we go back home for a long time. 
we got home this morning from 2 long flights. my bags were full! 
the first thing i did when i got home was to get my new board ready for the future. 
then i stared at it for an hour thinking “wow, this is a beautiful piece of art.” 
i passed by Diamond Head and the waves were calling out my name. it was saying “what are you doing? try out that new board!” 
so i put my foil on and had the time of my life. i feel so free, i felt so happy, and i felt so content!
then i went to the 2019 Kalani High School graduation to celebrate a sweet girls big day! half of my mind was asleep, and the other half was very emotional. it’s been a long day, and a very long 18 years…
Secret spot in Bali. Tony Moniz flying like a bird…
want to thank Kimura-san for picking me up at Kansai Airport. i think i had to much luggage for the train this time.
always happy to see Kimura-san. and will be happier when he finally comes back to Hawaii! everybody is waiting for you so better book your ticket!
this was my breakfast. everything i could ever dream of!
Naohiro works hard and plays hard. here he is playing with his Nova station wagon. wish i had that in Hawaii.
for the past 20 plus years, this family has been like my family. going to Yamari is like coming home. thank you Kimura-san, Atsuko-san, and Naohiro for the years of love…
when ever Kimura-san knows i’m going to Wakayama, he automatically books a reservation for En. and Master is waiting for us with the freshest and authentic food Japan has to offer.
i wanted to eat sashimi so he pulled out a couple live fish from the tank.
check out this flounder.
and here it is! my favorite fish liver!!! so creamy and so delicious!
not too many places in the world has fresh fish like this. coming back from Bali, this was a dream dinner for me.
and since i didn’t eat any meat in Bali, this beef sashimi hit the spot.
when ever i go to Bali, i try to make my transit through Kansai. 12 hours at other airports is torture, but not here!
thank you Naohiro for the ride to the airport. i had a great English lesson with you. i’d have to say that you are pretty good to understand my English. haha. see you guys again soon!
