Well it's been a few days since I've last updated you, but I have been pretty busy. After the tsunami hit I got back to regular ole life. This consisted of hanging out with some new friends I had made. Remember Sasha, the girl I had met on the plane, well she called me up on Friday and asked if I wanted to attend a small potluck with some of her friends that she had met on meetup.com. Meetup.com is a social website that allows people to get together and do the things that they enjoy. I decided to sign up and meet some people through the All Things Oahu site. Hopefully it works. Anyway I agreed to go the potluck, grabbed some BBQ chips and a cheap bottle of wine from Wal-Mart, and headed over. Just an FYI, when going to a Hawaiian potluck you can never fail when you bring sushi. Apparently BBQ chips are more of a picnic party favor. I met a few people and we enjoyed eating food and drinking extremely strong drinks.
On Saturday it was the Honolulu Festival. The Honolulu Festival is a weekend long celebration that brings all the different cultures in Honolulu together to celebrate. It includes a variety of performances, events, and exhibits. Usually it would be jam packed with different groups, but since many of the performers were from Japan they were unable to come. However Bryon, Cody, Fanchon and I still enjoyed walking the aisles of gifts and trinkets, getting yummy food, and watching a couple performances. That night Cody, Cameron, Bryon and I went to a place they call Suicides. They surfed and I layed out. It was a great place with no tourists! Cam, Bryon and I went to the Shack that night and watched a well known Hawaiian band, Kolohe Kai.
Yesterday I went and saw baby Liam! Baby Liam is the 1 month old baby boy that I will be nannying for starting today! He is such a peanut! I chatted with his parents for a while and then Bryon and I headed to the beach again. After that we ran around town trying to get Bryon a new phone--which I am so jealous of. I only have to wait until June to get a new phone.. oh well I guess my free one will be okay for now.
Missing everyone like crazy!
Aloha,
Jenna
