was so hungry after hiking that i went walking down the street to look for some local food. this looked interesting so i had to try it.

pretty cool cultural food here.

$3 for all of this. it was so good!

walking in the forest you can see all kinds of different plants. green everywhere.

every 10 steps, i had to take off my shoes and empty all the rocks out. can you imagine 11 hours of this? if you ever hike anywhere, you should definitely wear the proper footwear. i learned the hard way.

my selfie on the top of central america. 4000 meters up and felt like heaven. now i’m going to catch a bus for 9 hours to head to another magical place. then after that, i don’t know. love to go with the flow so that’s what i’m doing. explore and live a happy life! aloha amigos.

OMG!!! I’m so proud of you Joshua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re the man!!!!!! The world was watching you! Even me from Central America!!!

yesterday, i hike back down the mountain. i’m super tired, want to take a nap, but then i get a text from my sister “Josh is in the quarter finals surfing soon in Martinique.” what? where is Martinique? so i click the link and watch Joshua totally dominate his heat. he was ripping so hard i actually felt sorry for the other competitor. just looked unbeatable. i have no idea where Martinique is??? anyway, yesterday was yesterday, today is today. Joshua is in the semifinals surfing soon. i’m up in bed at 5:30am waiting for his heat. sleeping in a dorm with 14 other backpackers in my room. trying to be quiet but if Joshua wins his heat, i’ll be yelling for sure. haha.

i’m so proud of this kid! representing hawaii in an awesome way. GO JOSHUA!
