Yesterday we enjoyed the tranquil blue waters of Waikiki beach and some super fun people watching. I would add lots of photos of the tourists but couldn't bring myself to blatantly take their pictures. Imagine lots of Japanese teenagers in heels, designer bathing suits and bling squealing like kindergartners as they jump the waves with their little floaty rafts. Adorable. Combined with baked tan locals who run the surfing schools that line the beach. Everyone was smiling, everyone was having a good old time just watching each other play. To the left there's a little girl with a rashguard and bathing suit kneeling on the front of a surf board while an older teacher smiles and steers her into her first wave. Will she get up? To the right a chubby pale guy from the "mainland" dives under at the last minute to avoid a breaking wave. It was good fun but we had to go in after two hours because Mrs. NYC has no melanin. Kahlua Pig is well on his way to a savage tan.

Did Ms. NYC go swimming ? Did she learn to surf ? Did she eat delicious ,exotic dishes ? We want more pictures and adventures !!
Oooooooh Kahlua Piggy! I am seeeeeeething with envy!! You should have taken me, NOT Mrs. NYC. Although we are closely related, I got all the Melanin in the family, mwa ha ha ha ha! SEND PICTURES OF FOOD. Or else no more Chubbin!
Maybe if you are very sweet and let us have unlimited Chubbin access we might consider letting you come with us in 09 for a return trip. But we'll have to watch the traitorous comments, won't we? I may have no melanin, but KP can't resist my feminine wiles.
As for you, anonymous - yes, Mrs. NYC went swimming and likes to go swimming any chance she gets. She purchased a boogie board at the local supermarket and is taking it out today to do some body surfing. As for the proper surfing, she prefers to enjoy the wipe outs of others. The beach in Hawaii is not muddy and soft with crawly critters like the Atlantic. It is actually quite shallow and has lots of coral and rocks. Which would probably hurt a lot if you face planted into them.
