Yesterday and today
Super sunny and warm. Just like summer! Going surfing again!

another one of my new years resolutions is to travel more in 2014. just go to places i’ve never been before, meeting people, taking photos, and living in the culture. traveling is the best way to gain knowledge, become more appreciative, and to become a better person. it makes you think about things you would never think about in your daily lives.

i had no idea about Uruguay so jumping on a ferry and entering an unknown country was exciting. an experience i will never forget.

the daily life is so simple. look at this cool house.

then you walk into the local store and see things you will never see in hawaii.

want salami? i actually bought a piece and it tasted pretty good with a glass of wine.

and bought some tomatoes for a salad. look how they weight it. simple and amazing.

and not to mention the waves right out in front where i was staying. Uruguay is country i will visit again. it’s a place where i would like to spend a month or so going deeper and deeper into the culture.
some people ask me where i would like to visit. here is my short list.
Butan to hang out with the monks.
Greece to see the Parthenon in Athens.
The Blue Hole in Belize to free dive 80 meters.
Cambodia to visit my brother taking care of the kids with Aids.

OMG! Big Wave!
Good morning 6:30am.
North shore clean at 2-3′.
South shore clean at waist high.
Every where perfect conditions.
No wind becoming light onshore later this afternoon.
Clear sky with some clouds.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!
