Pradise??

Well, im in Hawaii on the island of Kawai. I got here friday night but i havent been able to get to a computer until now. Right nw i am in the village of Hanapepe at a little bookstore/cafe/tarot readers home its kind of wierd. Ayway i flew out of LAX and got to HOnolulu at about 4 o clock. I had to wait for my 6pm flight to Kawai Where Alyssa, a friend of the family was going to pick me up. I am staying with her and her gramdmother for the next 10 days until i fly to New Zealand on the 14th. The first night i got here we went out to dinner at this italian place near the house called Pomodoro, it was Phyllis's birthday (the grandmother). The next morning I awoke to an amazing view of a green valley behind the house, i sat with a cup of coffee and watched horses, yes, Wild horses just doing there thing in the valley. It was truley incredible. That night ALyssa and I went to Roy's, the restraunt where she works, with a couple of her friends and her Boyfriend Enx, who also happens to be the Executive chef there, yay for free food. The food is Asian fusion, really amazing, aparently there are quite a few of these restraunts in the states so if you ever encounter one, its worth the wait time. I have been going to the beach a lot and taking a bunch of pictures, sorry they wont be up until i have internet on my laptop, but the will be up. Thingskeep happening here that catch my breath, like the other day i was on the phone with my boy out on the back porch and a barn owl flew by, the white ones with the sunken in eyes, it was crazy. Then yesterday morning ther was a peacock outside our front door, A PEACOCK! it was showing poff its feathers, really beautiful. Tomorrow Alyssa and I might drive aroud the island, it oly takes 2-3 hours to drive the whole perimiter. The sights thatIve seen so far have been just inspiring, all shades of green and bright colors. Oh last night we went to a friends of the families house for a birthday party, the family was from Hawaii so i got a taste of the culture first hand. I can honestly say that Hawiians are some of the most genuinely nice people on the planet. I tried some native foods which were very good and met some great people. Well, my time is up on this computer but hopefully i will find another one soon. I miss everyone and the pictures wil;l be up soon!
