More of Summer '06

Hello again faithful blog visitors. I'm back with a short little update covering a few oldies as well as some newbies. Observe:

A while back, we spent an evening watching "Fearless" (the Jet Li movie that hasn't yet been released in the states) at Joel's house. I enjoyed part of the feature presentation from the comfort of the Arakaki family hammock (with strong trade winds blowing to keep me cool). Why I signed the letter "S" escapes me at the moment...

Phil & Josh (& my bro's arm on the far right) were there to participate in the festivities as well.

Noelle was there too but she was pretty tired and didn't really see much of the movie. My brother makes another appearance in the background...

This is from a different night (the evening at Nick's house) but it's a pic that's got Joel in it. Joel has just left HI and will soon be on his way to Japan where he'll be spending some time teaching English through the JET program. Best of luck Joel and be sure to take plenty of pics to share with us on your blog.

On to some new stuff...today Josh & I circled the island in search of good eats & some sunshine. We caught lunch at Giovanni's Famous Shrimp truck out near the Kahuku Sugar Mill. Damn was the shrimp scampi good (and super garlic-ky). I would highly encourage all you guys to grab a plate the next time you're in the area!

Continuing on 'round the island, we stopped momentarily to get a view of Laie Point. There wasn't much in the way of cloud cover today so the sky was a lovely shade o'blue.

We ended up cruising at Kualoa Beach for a bit. Sadly, this was the first trip to the beach for either one of us (during this summer that is). It's even more sad for Josh cuz he heads back to LA tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a few more opportunities to get to the beach... Anyways, the above is a view of Chinaman's Hat from Kualoa Beach. It really was a beautiful day and the water was nice and warm. Lucky we live Hawaii...

So, hopefully the pretty, pretty pics (including one of my trademark food pictures) will satisfy some of you guys who have been wanting a post that was a bit more substantial. I don't have a whole lot of time left on the rock but I'm planning on doing my best with the few more weeks I've got (work permitting of course). On that note, safe travels to Joel & Josh and I'd like to wish the rest of you guys a good evening and a pleasant day. And, if you haven't dropped by to visit me at the store yet, what's keeping you!?!?! Cya.
