Okay, so I'd seen shrimp shacks on TV and Jon Canlas always talks about them when he comes to Hawaii - actually when we asked Jon what we should do when we came... all he did was mention where to eat - but I digress. Anyway, Jon said to just eat at Romy's and get the garlic shrimp. Man it was good - $11 was a little pricy at first, but when I started shoveling down that sticky rice with the sauce they give you - mmmm, Good.When they first gave us the little meal baskets it didn't look too appealing - all the legs were still on the shrimp - sometimes the heads and middle-body parts were still there too. That was kind of gross having to pull that stuff off, but I got use to it and it was actually fun. I felt a little like Caleb in his high chair. Amy, of course did not eat any shrimp because "they have the poop vein in them." So in stead she settled for a hamburger, fries and water in Laie.
We stopped by to take Jimmy to the grocery store just down the hill and buy some snacks. He showed us his dorm room - it wasn't too much to scream about, but he's in Hawaii!!! Actually, who am I kidding - we're talking about Jimmy here. He's going to be in his dorm room ALL the time because that's where his computer his. Hopefully he comes home with a little bit of a tan which will prove he's at least been doing SOME things out side. Jimbo did complain that his physical fitness class was killing him because it required exercise for 20 minutes, 5 times a week. Poor guy!

I forgot to mention that you have to peel the shrimp yourself and it can be a bit groos but honestly, that sauce, all that garlic, the rice and the bad breath that will haunt you for at least 4 days? soooo worth it.
from romy's if you drive towards laie you will pass the high school called kahuku where i went and right after it is where i had my first job ever growing grass for golf courses and shoveling horse manure. best job ever. i came home coated in poop everyday.
i can't believe you guys are really there. oh the wonders of digital cameras...i was berated jon earlier for pouting that he wasn't there now either and for how jealous he was, but after seeing these pictures i have to say i'm turning a little green with envy myself. have so much fun you guys and at least we know you'll eat well while you're there. you can always work off the weight with jon when you get back, right?
p.s. you HAVE to have the coconut pancakes at the coffeehouse jon recommended. see ya!!!
