i went to hanauma bay today. i don't remember my first visit there in 1996, but it was very disney-like. parking. fees. mandatory film about being an environmentally responsible visitor. i snorkeled and laid out on the beach. i've gotten really tan already, just from 2 days of sun this weekend. it was a very hot day today.
afterwards, we went to kailua to a local health food store. i ate a vegan panini with vegan salami. it wasn't bad, but i sure as hell would have never guess salami.
a group of us went out to eat thai for dinner tonite. i love that there is asian food and restaurants EVERYWHERE here. korean. thai. vietnamese. chinese. japanese. indian. etc. i also noticed the variety of temples and churches. i've made almost a complete loop around oahu. counter clock-wise from honolulu/waikiki to north shore/haleiwa. i have yet to visit the west side (the dry side).
the makeup class was quite nice since the practice room was a bit cooler than usual. in fact, i realized the improvement of my practice since i got here. my strength and stamina has improved greatly. i think my flexibility has as well, although my hamstrings, glutes and lowerback are extremely tight and sore all the time.
so i had a great weekend. i spent most of it outdoors at a beach. i had a few cold beers. i spent time with good company (i think there are no more than 10 people i will most definitely stay in contact with). i skipped the posture clinic group gathering tonite, as did a fellow group member, and i'm sure there were other mia. 30 something of us were supposed to meet in one of the hotel rooms of 2 group members. i went to eat thai instead. i'm sure i will have to explain myself tomorrow morning to my fellow group members, as to why i did not attend an extremely exciting and wild gathering.
back to the grind tomorrow. yoga galore. posture clinic ad nauseum. faculty (as bikram calls his staff and teachers), an odd bunch themselves. and the best part, 300 something fellow students...but i don't want to go to school tomorrow!
