Shaka-laka
Aloha from wonderful Waikiki! Oh man, this place is just as beautiful as everyone's described it. At Charles' recommendation, I watched a sunset on the beach last night--it was crazy beautiful. Not crazy/beautiful (the movie I'm almost ashamed to have watched) but CRAZY beautiful.
This whole island rocks--but as the Kaua'i resident I met last night mentioned--not every island here is so incredibly commercialized. I can't wait to see what Big Island is like.
Been looking for a cheap used surfboard to test my surfing prowess on--and I found one. Gonna go test it out tomorrow. Hang ten, buddy...oh, and that hand sign, Matt--you know, the one with the pinky and the thumb out and the others curved in--that's called the "shaka." Hawaiians totally use that to say "see you later" and it totally rocks.
Adios! In the meantime, I leave you with this picture:

I actually recommended a sunrise, but the sunsets are pretty cool, and much more likely to be seen by someone who never makes it to work before 10AM. ;-)
