two a days

No, not the two a days of training rides that Jamie refers to in his blog, or even the hit TV show on mtv, but two postings a day!

Today, Jess and I went to the Hilo pool for a swim. It was a good workout and a cool place to visit, not to mention that it's completely free! Working a lot on technique and pace, I did a choice warm up, with a couple drills and 10 x 200m. After the pool, we went into town and did some shopping. We hit up the market, where I bought this gorgeous 6-foot flower for $1. Yes, you read correctly - $1.

After Jamie was shaking it around a bit, a little friend fell out and landed on the floor. Here's a picture.

Best dollar I've ever spent.

We also went to see 'Descendance' - an Australian tribal group here in Hilo. They were amazing! They're staying next door, so Jess and I got to meet them when they arrived yesterday. We were speaking to one man after the show, and found out that they've been on a couple tours with Xavier Rudd! We were hoping to have a dance party with them tomorrow, but unfortunately they leave early in the morning.

Keep dreaming,

JS

Hey Jow,
Nice job with the 6 foot plant and the lovely looking grub that came with it. Sounds like you're continuing to surpass expectations with everything. Maybe that's a good omen for you entire trip. I bet it is .... so thanks for the two a days and keep up the great work.
