Hawaii Part 4 - Two bottles of Opus One and the End





First off, sorry for the delay in part 4. Long day at work yesterday. Went home, cycled, showered, shaved and then passed out. Good night, good fight. Today was different and hence the blog post. Let's get started.

On our last day, Mike and I went to Ala Moana mall in Hawaii - perhaps Hawaii's biggest mall and my favorite place to sit with dark Oakley sunglasses and "people watch" err....yeah, you get the idea. Anyways, along the way we ran into the coi pond which is dope and Mike got to witness some keiki [Hawaiian for 'children'] doing some Hula as pictured above. Some difficult stuff - I'll stick to cycling!

Another pic is of my good friend Mike. Basically, I owe my passion for cycling and my current skill - lack thereof really - to him. Without his help and patience [he knows I descend hills like Sam Choy on roller skates!] I guarantee you, I would not be where I am in cycling [which aint much but eh...half a year into it, give me some time]. I took that photo of him [taking a photo of me] the day of the tsunami. That's all 150 lbs of that Scottish Hawaiian. Don't say he's English. And no, he doesn't golf.
There's another pic of Mike and my good friend Dr. Alex Silver. Quite possibly one of the nicest human beings I've EVER met. Seriously. We met at the Honolulu Club and since then our friendship has grown. Though he drinks some pretty weak shit as far as beer goes, don't let the looks fool you. This guy knows his WINE. And by 'knows' I mean he has amassed an enormous wine collection [for which I'm grateful...for which....for.....heheh, inside joke] that I tried to drink one night.

Hence, the two bottles of opus one. Safe to say we didn't fly that night and the next day was geared towards recovery. Lots of gatorade, bananas and Thai food. Not shabby huh! And so there's Hawaii in a few days. Hope you liked it. I'll be going back soon! Until then, you'll just have to put up or shut up with my vegan [weeeegan] rants.

Aloha,
Mike and Alex [no, we're not a couple.....]
