Hawaii part ONE

So im still in Kawa’i and it is still stunning everywhere I look. I found out that this café right down the road has internet access so here I am while Alyssa is across the street at the salon, I figured now was the best time to do all this. So, what have I been doing? Relaxing more than anything, Reading, going to the beach, and driving around are all part of my array of daily routines. Monday was another beach day and that night Alyssa and I went over to Enx’s house and cooked dinner. Seriously though, it is such a different experience cooking dinner with people who know their way around the kitchen, I mean Enx is the executive chef at a huge restraunt and Alyssa has had 2 years training at a top culinary school, needless to say, the dinner was excellent. The highlight of Tuesday was, once again, dinner. Enx, Alyssa and I drove to the other side of the island to a place called Kawa’i Pasta. First off, the drive was beautiful, though it got dark pretty quickly. The food was great and it was BYOB, so we had brought some wine. Monday and Tuesday were the only days Alyssa had off from work so the next couple were going to be just Grandma Phyllis and me partying around the island rock star style. What could be better than a 20 year old cruising around with a 75 year old? Nothing. But im going to break this up cause its getting a little long and I know that most of you who read this suffer from mild ADD. You’re welcome. Oh sorry, one more thing; I’ve read 2 books while I’ve been here and I highly recommend both of them. The first is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, it’s a story about a Shepard boy who by following his dream of traveling, ends up learning about Love, faith and the soul of the world through different people he encounters on his quest; The Alchemist is an unabashed delight and a truly inspirational journey. This story gives its reader a chance to take a step back and slow down enough to be able to see life for all its worth. The second book is as different as another book could be, titled The Pirates! In Adventures with Scientists by Gideon Defoe, this book kept me laughing through all 130 pages including both front and back cover. It is a cartoon-like escapade that follows the dashing Pirate Captain and his mis matched crew of shanty singing, ham loving, village pillaging, slightly retarded crew in an unexpected adventure with Charles Darwin and his “manpanzee” Mr. Bobo. Enough Said? Just read it, it will have you laughing until your timbers are shivering, I promise.
