hello, how do you do?

been having a rather lovely time recently.
yesterday me and taj [a house mate] went fishing with bamboo sticks off the rock outside our house, taj got 3, laverick nil. then later we cooked them on a fire on the beach. just after our rather small fishy tea a big samoan boy picked us up in his truck and we went to his mates to drink kava [for non Samoans kava is a drink made from the root of a pepper plant, it tastes like dirty water with a hint of Cinnamon and is supposed to numb your body]. so we sat outside this house drinking kava out of a bucket with 3 vast Polynesian boys playing ukes and singing. pretty cool but the kava didnt really do a whole lot apart from make my legs abit numb.

went for some epic hiking a few days back, it followed the ridge of these mountains, only problem was the ridge was around 2ft wide with 2000+ft drop on either side. parts of it turned into rock climbing than an actual walk and took over 5 hours. about 3/4 of the way through i heard a massive scream and turned around to sea david dragging hannah to the ground. turned out she had reached for a branch that bent or broke and was about to fall several thousand feet off the ridge. pretty dodge. the plan was to hit up 2 other hikes [one with a 50ft waterfall to jump off] but just went home with jellied legs.





off to maui on tues then hopefully big island, back here and ny for a few days. also need to tan my chops off.
