Western Civilization: Day 12

I helped Tocci out with some work today, we headed down to Waikiki early this morning to pick up solar panels. It is amazing how a forty-five minute drive separates these two dramatically different sides of the island, the southern end of the island is very developed with high rises littering the skyline. One can only imagine what it all looked like before all the hotels were built. We drove all the way to Kamole Park, where the mountain sides are covered with mansions. Tocci installed the Panels and I assisted by lifting the solar panels up to him. He let me head back early and I drove the truck back north. It was about three in the afternoon when I reached the North Shore. I headed to Tocci's house grabbed a board and paddled out through the channel for another fun session, and where at times I was the only one out at the break as head high waves rolled in. I am finally figuring out how to catch the waves in Hawaii and I caught a bunch of fun ones today. I got back to Paul and Nita's around six-thirty and enjoyed some of Nita's delicious chicken stew. After concluding the meal I quickly faded and fell asleep pretty early after a long day in Hawaii.
