Daniel and I had [...]

I was shocked flying to the island of Maui yesterday. I expected it all to be green and lush, but saw, on the south part of the island, this kind of terrain. It seems the northern part of most of the islands are wetter, greener and cooler, and the southern part more desert like. As [...]

Multi-colored chickens lead their hysterical chicks down the road. Steel grey waves crash on the basalt shore with dark grey clouds slowly becoming lit at the sun begins to appear. A man steps out of his door and walks to the beach. He looks at the ocean as though he has no control over his [...]
