We packed a picnic to go to the beach, but it was so windy we only stayed a little while.

Here are our friends at the same dinner. I think this is a great picture of both of them. Elina got her earrings on their trip to Singapore earlier this year.

Here's Brian at Tsukuneya Robata Grill (Nagoya style). It's the new restaurant on the corner of University and Dole. The food was ok... I would definitely have the pot of rice and the dynamite crab if we went again. We went with some of our friends before a play at Manoa Valley Theatre on May 13.
