Most of my posts this summer on Twitter & Instagram have had the term holoholo as either the caption or #hashtag.

I’ve had the privilege of hosting out-of-town guests from China (see previous post) and Japan. It’s been a blast! Really, they’re much more than guests, but amazing friends.

This week I got to hang out with Ryan who teaches English in Osaka, Japan. He used to be at a school that I had visited in Kawachinagano back in 2001. He’s here for the Punahou Keiki Kamp. We went to Hanauma Bay & Waikiki Beach. He also attended a service at Inspire Church and visited our small group Bible study.

We also enjoyed good food. Here’s the pad thai from Thai Herb Kitchen on Kapahulu Ave. We also had poke bowls from Pa’ina Cafe and checked out the Eat the Street event in Kaka’ako. It was nice to reconnect with such a great friend.

We also holoholo-ed a bunch with our KS EdTech team this summer. We hiked Diamond Head during our planning retreat.

After work today, we hiked the ridge above our school’s campus. I don’t think I like hiking much, but I sure enjoyed the great company.

Blessed & thankful to live in such a beautiful place with the best of friends. We go holoholo….
