hawaii, day 6
Phew! Working hard in the heat. Love it. Excellent waves this morning at Thousand Peaks Beach - where we do the surfing lessons. Everyone got up on their first day of lessons! How great is that! Woo hoo!
By the way, I'm not sure why my blog has become more of a daily log, but whatev. Wink wink.
Third day of the retreat now. The women who signed up are great - very diverse in their age, home geography, jobs and interests. And all supah cool. It's been great to meet them.
And it's been great being back in the swing of things with Me-Shell, Khadija and Anita - the other three full time staff for the retreat. Feels like home being with my girls. But no, I'm still not moving here. No compelling reason to do so. I dig the island lifestyle, but it just doesn't resonate anymore. At least not all year long. Maybe someday in the future though...
But oh - I know what I wanted to write about! The FOOD!!! Man oh man. Khadija is our chef extraordinaire for the retreat, and let me just say that there isn't anything this woman cooks up that is short of phenomenally yummy!! Wow!! From fresh fruit and nut smoothies, to fresh juice at breakfast (y'all know how much I love my fresh juice!), to coconut macaroons she baked herself, to beef rollups or fresh ono (fish) stew at dinner, to acorn squash soup, to avocado key lime pie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. My tummy is happy.

I think that George, given his particular flair for cuisinography (the photography of cuisine), should somehow document your food experience in HI-land.
