the wrap up

so here's the wrap up of the rest of the week.
thursday - time to beat myself up surfing, oh yeah.
On thurs Kyle, Liza, and Myself went down to Waikiki for some surfing in the resort town amongst all of the tourists. Surfing was great, caught two waves, and thoroughly beat myself up to the point where i had serious welts on my chest, my knees were bruised and i was completely exhausted since i don't exactly have any arm strength. Then to litertally add insult to injury, when i went to return the board (which i couldn't get my arm around) my tired arms we slowly moving the board back on the rack when the guy running the tent takes it from me and says "man, you're fucking weak" no, really? I couldn't tell by the fact that it took me 20 minutes to get back to shore and was struggling to catch my breath. grr.
here's the thursday pics (obviously none of me surfing, since, well, i was surfing)



aaawwwwwwwwwww














give it up for DJ TIKI!!







On friday we went to the polynesian cultural center for entertainment, lu'au, and a nice touristy day. at times it was a little bit like prarie home companion, but fun none the less.






and saturday for one last time we went down to waiamaia bay where, at long last, i got my obligatory sunburn, making the flight home oh so uncomfortable and opening up into the utter itchy discomfort hell that happens to me, meaning i had to take the day off today as well, since i didn't really recover from my jetlag or burn on the monday i had planned. i think it has subsided, but we'll see what happens when i hop in the shower later. grrrr


i guess i'll end this one with the rest of my favorite pics.
