Paradise

Adele and I walked the beach at low tide about 7 this morning. I met a guy with a cup of coffee looking out at the ocean. He said, “How are you?” I replied, “Fabulous!”. He said, “There’s no other way to be, this is Paradise.”

We went to dinner at the Elk’s club last night with some of Adele‘s friends. It’s right up against the edge of the water, quite a nice and popular place. we went upstairs to the roof to watch the sunset, and came across a lion.

The lion was headed into a graduation celebration, and we were lucky to catch a glimpse of it.

I did catch sight of ISS with its two stranded astronauts at 4:53 AM. It flew right over the back porch.

I hiked 1.2 miles and 600 feet up into the steep valley Adele’s house is in, with her delightful neighbor Sarah. There is a nice cool breeze here.

My new favorite thing are mangoes. They fall out of the tree into Adele‘s backyard. It’s Manna from heaven! 

Aloha from Paradise
