Pacific Surf 太平洋的海浪

Got these great pictures of the waves off of our coast. There is a storm a bit out and it sent huge waves crashing in, which unfortunately I didn’t get a photo of but I did get the tail end here. Ah the Pacific Rim, volcanoes 火山, tall mountains, blue waters, surrounding the beautiful Pacific ocean that to me is so much more fun than the Atlantic Ocean I grew up around.

Speaking of the Pacific Ocean, we just went to a Hawaiian restaurant 夏威夷餐廳. It was very authentic with lots of hungry expatriate Hawaiians there as well. Strangely, we always feel right at home when we are in a Hawaiian environment. Most of the people in the islands are mixed race in one way or another and they have a very laid-back friendly attitude. Multi-lingual family with children stamping all over each other while wolfing down hearty portions of lau lau (用芋頭葉子包的, 裡面的馅是焗豬肉) and saimen 麵…no problem. We even got their delicious strawberry coffee cake made there, they started as a bakery in Hilo, to take home and star in our photo.
