The most important meal of the day

Jeff was up early this morning making some very fancy coffee. We apparently had to get a bit of a caffeine boost before we went out to breakfast. There's a pancake house in Kaneohe that serves some marinated Portugese pork with its eggs. I told the waitress I was about to mispronounce vinha d'alhos, and she knew what I wanted to order before I was able to mangle the name of the dish too badly.

We drove back from the restaurant on a road where the ocean was just to the right. Hawaii is good at juxtaposition. On the right was a beach and some beautiful crystal blue water. There were lush green trees. It was a postcard. On the left was a work crew cutting branches back from power lines and a garbage truck making it's rounds. A postcard to the right; a practical bunch of city work on the left. Juxtaposition.
