| So here I am, stuck in a tropical paradise for xmas. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Saw a whale. Went to a hula xmas pagent. Condo on the beach. Party last night with all sorts of cool people. Surf, flowers, tropical fruit, board games. Windmills. | |

| Went to a hippie town with a health food store, hemp shop, art galleries. Went kayaking, saw a firedancer. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Had a traditional if overpriced plate lunch. Haven't had shave ice yet. Found a pirate camp. Drove past the nude beach. Trying hard to maintain my cynical midwestern, um, cynicism | |

| That island over there? The Hawai'ins cut down all the trees and the soil washed away. Then it was a penal colony, then a bombing range. Now it's.. nothing. Looks nice in the sunset though. | |

| Trying to figure out an angle to make a buck. Nothing yet. | |
