Accomplishments of the my Return:

Thursday

Arrived, after 12 hours of travel. I then had to pay 40 dollars for a cab to Justin's house, which is where all my stuff is living while im on big island. Could i have had someone pick me up? Yea. Did i? No. Was there any reason to this? No, i'm just weird and wasteful sometimes. After dropping my stuff in his room I myself dropped onto his bed and passed out for about 5 hours. I then met Alea, got an acai bowl, took a hot shower, and slept.

(Note: ALL my stuff consists of my laptop and my large green duffel. As in, thats everything I own. And that fact makes me smile a big minimalist smile.)

Friday

In all honesty, I don't remember Friday super well. I awoke, Alea and I had breakfast, then I think we slothed around for a while. We met up with B-rad later for some lunch and then pranced to first friday in Honolulu. No big, same 'ol same 'ol.

Saturday

Yo! Big Island day. Miss my early flight cause i don't think I have my ID with me...and then find out later after I've arrived it was in the bottom of my bag. Grrreat. Spent an extra hundred cause i missed my flight into Kona and had to buy a new ticket into the Hilo airport. Shrug. At least i landed...After this I rendevous with Kalinda and say goodbye to Alea (who flew in with me to visit with her lover man) We went to Kalinda's house and then down to the blacksand beach at the end of her street. Beautiful beach, right next to a fresh water spring and an old, abandoned, rusted sugar mill. It hurts its so pretty down there. Then we collected the rest of the camping crew, drove to some water falls, climbed said waterfalls, and headed to our camp site to play house.

Sunday

Woke up, packed up, bought a big cheap mexican breakfast, hit the farmers market, and then hit the dirt roads of Puna. We took a lovely morning in the natural steam caves, hit a different beach, and then stopped for the afternoon at another blacksand nude beach for the hippie drum circle. After this we showered off at some rest stop and then headed to Jah Pizza, this weekly free pizza/ drum circle night at one of the hippie communes. Lots of crazy hippies running around doing crazy hippie things. They made me join hands and 'Ohm' before we could eat. Cause theyre crazy hippies.

Monday

Once again, woke up.  I don't know why i feel it's necessary to add this into each day, but i guess it's true since i did it...On Monday I think we did a combination of waterfalls, beaches, and...oh yes, hot ponds. We also saw lava, cause the big island has an active volcano and stuff. Then we slept. 

It was fantastic, and punctuated with nakedness.

Tuesday

Woke up, beached it in the morning, injured my foot standing naked on the lava rock cliffs being pummeled by the waves, pranced around the volcano for a while, went off roading and met Alea at a green sand beach. Was kidnapped by Alea and her lover man and carted off to his two story rambling home in the Hawaiian countryside. Slept in a bed and took a hot shower- oh so good after days of camping. 

I've gotten sleepy typing all of this, and obviously lazy with my descriptions. I swear, everything is full of beautiful fantastic adventure! I'm just worn out from all of it and therefore doing a poor job describing the vibrant luciousness that is my Big Island trip. You all should feel blessed that my ass is even sitting in front of a computer long enough to type this out when ive got all of big island beckoning me.

Love you, and i'll get at you about the last days in China next episode ;)

Love&luz
