Times'a windin down...

While packing my bags on the final day I found an incredible looking post card sized ad for a photographer's studio with some very inspiring work. It just so happened to be on the north shore again, so to the north shore we went. We spent the entire afternoon hopping from gallery to gallery, and left every one more eager to shoot more photos. We headed to the south shore to Waikiki beach with Saul for our final sunset. 

Overall the trip was absolutely incredible. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The trip was ended with a sunset that seemed to set the sky on fire. I apologize for posting a few similar photographs. I just really couldn't choose just one this time. The colors were powerful and truly breathtaking as I sat on the pier thinking back upon the past two months as the south shore sunset faded to black.

On our second to last day Erika really wanted to go to the north shore. So we did. We re-visited this extremely secluded beach, in which we had to share with nobody. One of the greatest days.

This big guy snuck up and joined us on the beach. Two more of his buddies also came along.

Friends/Roomies And The Things I See

A change of plans has been agreed upon and we're ending our excursion a couple weeks ahead of time. I came to this island to do a few things. Surf, climb in waterfalls, enjoy beautiful tropical weather, broaden myself to exterior cultures, and meet incredible and inspiring people. In the 2 months that I've been here, I've managed to complete all of the following. With the help of Adair and Ashley, I feel that I saw the things I wanted to see, Met the people I wanted to meet, swam in the things I wanted to swim, climbed the things I wanted to climb, and felt the things I wanted to feel. But for now, its time to get back to reality. 

On one of the last days here, we decided to have a beach day with the roomies and close friends.. A solid group of people.
