I came back from Hawaii yesterday, on Christmas Eve, but I guess I will post other photos and discussion later (maybe). Let’s hurry on to the core of the post, though…

Merry Christmas!

Everyone, relax! It’s Christmas. Enjoy it, sing carols, and remember that it’s there for good reason. Now I have not much else to say since I am tired from going to midnight mass, so good night!

I spent some/much of today’s afternoon at the beach nearby. I was swimming in salty Pacific Ocean water for most of the time, but for the rest of it, I was taking pictures, or something like that. It was relaxing (and lots of good food is relaxing as well). Something very notable was that I saw someone wearing a black shirt with Luffy’s Straw Hat pirate flag on the front. I tried to take a picture, but by the time I had my camera out, he was on the move again (with his back facing me), and by the time I was getting caught up with him, he took the shirt off. Sorry, everyone. At least I can report the sighting…

This is my shadow “holding” one of my flip-flops. Daniel took the picture.

Today was generally tiring while pretty relaxing at the same time.

I’m now in Hawaii (will be back in Texas on Christmas Eve). I’m here for a relative’s wedding. The plane trip wasn’t that bad; it was a bit long though. I watched some One Piece (episodes I’ve already seen) on the plane, but my batteries didn’t last that long. The other parts of the plane trip can be categorized like this: sleeping, listening to music, eating, and looking out the window (because it looked really cool when we were flying above land with snowy mountains).

I will post more later, but here are two pictures I’ve taken so far.

C’est tout!
