Between surfing events, Tessa and Josh were interested in eating. Our local friend, Joe Wilson, gave them lots of tips on food. So we had plate lunches with garlic shrimp and barbeque, dim sum in Chinatown, chocolate haupia (coconut custard) pie from Ted's Bakery, and the favorite--musubi from 7-11. Musubi is sushi rice with a slice of fried Spam, held together with a sushi seaweed wrap. They also enjoyed breakfast and lunch at the Hukilau Cafe. And lots of Diet Coke.
Fate arranged that Josh would meet Nate Hong, husband of my graduate student, Maggie. They live in Honolulu where Nate is working at a law firm. Josh left the island with a successful interview with them under his belt and a real possibility of a job here next fall.
Yesterday we took them to the airport, stopping on the way at our farmer's market for some jewelry shopping. After they made their plane--barely due to Fate attempting to keep them here by causing Tessa to leave her purse at our house--we got to shop at both WalMart and Costco in Honolulu Saturday traffic, and then ended with day with a concert down the road of slack key guitar and singing by three of the very best. We bought cds.
