Day 15

Work was the usual today so I’ll just skip over to the after. We went to Kee’I beach, our usual haunt, and I think this was my favorite day at the beach so far. I know I say that about Christmas, and that was great, but today was different. Physically this is the first time I swam a lot and felt comfortable, one with the ocean and the waves I suppose. Also I have been having unsuccessful attempts at snorkeling, but I snorkeled a lot and saw beautiful fish and corals and things and it was just perfect. I laid down and listened to music, wrote a letter to Alana. We got a ride in squeezed in the back of this rental mustang with some tourists, the rocky road into, wasn’t ideal for them and I don’t think they like our beach, but whatever. Today on the beach was the first time since we got here that my mind rested too. I wasn’t worried about what I’m going tomorrow, what do I need to do to be a good worker, how am I getting, back, what activities should we do tomorrow, oh my gosh I’m in Hawaii what the crap. I go to ponder life and what comes next, the big picture, I felt calm and completely relaxed and comfortable. It was just a peace of mind I didn’t realize I hadn’t had since I got here. Anyway so we were trying to hitchhike home and this sketchy looking van was coming up so we put our thumbs down, but it was too late they stopped. It was two crazy older guys, but a rides a ride and it was getting late. They both were yelling and talking at the same time, it was hard to communicate much. Jeremiah told them we felt like the hitchhiker in fear and loathing and the guy starts quoting and totally gets the reference, it was pretty cool. We weren’t scared, but our ride givers were definitely inebriated and scattered brained, it was bat country : ) But there were beer bottles littered throughout the back. At one point out of the blue the driver says “ I was born May 4^th’ for no apparent reason. As ill fated as this ride could have seemed I found that kind of an odd cosmic connection weird thing. It put me at is and made me realize again what small world it is. We made it home safe and had an amazing avocado veggie burger and fried potatoes, the best meal I’ve had past breakfast since I got here, but I was also starving, it was just good familiar food. So today was just all around really good and interesting and I feel like a hit a point of, yeah this is my life right now and its good.
