This Hawaiian word literally means "hole". Puka goes a long way in describing Hawaiian cuisines. Hole in the wall places are the best place to eat here. Today Marshall took me to this place "You Hungry?" and we had the traditional plate lunch. I got ahi tuna with sweet wasabi sauce. Nothing about it was healthy but I was very satisfied afterward (I was not hungry after). It was this fried tuna steak covered with sesame seeds and this green sweet wasabi sauce. I had brown rice with panko bread crumbs with it along with macaroni salad on the side. Shit was delicious!
I am also in love with Genki sushi and I think we are having my good bye meal there tonight. Today, Mar had the day off and he took me to the Byodo Temple in the morning and then to Manoa falls in the afternoon. At the temple there is this giant bell you strike with a log which is hanging from the side. Apparently when you strike this bell you release bad spirits. Well me being the dumb ass that I am... pulled back on the edge of the log with the rope and swung (lifted my feet off the ground) and rammed into that bell! I released all my negative chi! I was also the dumbest tourist there but you just gotta act that way at times to get the full experience... you know? Later on in the day, we hiked up to the top of the falls but then decided to take a 45 minute detour on this other trail. It was very serene and pretty. It was also nice because I got a good workout in before I left (which reminds me of my need to continue working out when I get back home).
I have learned a bit more about myself on this vacation. A lot of it has been Marshall and Ashu telling me how much I have changed since a few years back. I guess I never really thought about it too much but I am quite different (prolly for the better). I will reflect on it in the next blog. But before I forget I have to let everyone know that I figured out my favorite animal and color while on this trip (turtles and red)... two huge hallmarks in anyone's life, right? well maybe not so much haha but good to know regardless. I will also post sky divining pictures soon. Peace!
