It's difficult to tell in this picture, but the ocean is about 60 feet below me there. This is from Wednesday (first full day here)... so I'm a little more tan now and I've ditched the swim trunks in favor of board shorts. Ed showed me these board shorts made of some kind of super material that repels water for the most part, but when they get soaked they dry in about 30 minutes. So that's fairly awesome.quick updates:
So far I have: been to the beach many times, visited a skate shop with a reasonable longboard selection (s9 and arbor, but a good variety of each), attended a church meeting, eaten local food, eaten non-local food, read the book of Luke start-to-finish, gotten up early to serve smoothies, mochas, and coffee to teachers; visited an elder in the hospital, experienced a taste of the Keystone Project, edited together a video, babysat, received a dog bite, experienced the kauai chickens, learned a little hawaiian, seen geckos on a near-daily basis, seen a sea turtle, seen a seal on the beach, discovered giant moths, and met a large number of really cool people.
time for some fast ratings:
Saimin = good
the ocean = amazing
guava juice = okay
"small box lunch" from dally up = DELICIOUS
kama'aina = da kine
