I’m thinking about becoming a vegetarian. Not for moral reasoning but simply because I am not finding the taste of meat as appealing as I use to. I’m not one to be adventurous on foods. I eat the basic: beef, poultry, pork, and fish. I’ve stopped eating as much pork because my sister and the Discovery channel have scared me away from it, I’ll spare the details since I don’t want to make anyone fear their favorite dish. The smell of poultry turns me away. We ate a lot of it growing up. As for beef, I find myself with an upset stomach many times after eating a beef dish. The only thing left is fish. At the hands of the right chef it is delicious otherwise it’s so-so. My husband laughs and calls it one of “my phases,” but who knows, maybe it’s my body’s way of telling me to put down the second serving of cheeseburger and pick up a salad. I like salads.

This past week, I’ve been hanging out with my friend from high school who came to visit me from Virginia. Because he is an outdoor person and likes nature, I took him to a lot of beaches and hiking areas. One of the places that I took him to was Hanauma Bay. I usually don’t go to Hanauma because its more of touristy place and I don’t think its that much fun. It’s crazy because people that are non-residents have to pay $7 to get in AND they make you watch a short video. So I thought it was going to be so-so but when I went with him, I found out that it actually is pretty fun. We went snorkeling and saw the fish and even got to see a turtle. If you’ve never been to Hanauma Bay, I highly recommend it. Here are some pictures from our swim.
