Added 2022-12-17 17:46:33 +0000 UTCThese are 3 photos from the semester I lived in Hilo, Hawaii. it was one of the rare times of my life I lived without a car. I bicycled everywhere, averaging 7-12 miles a day, typically in the rain. (Hilo is North Shore, Hawaii, so very wet!) My first, nice bike was stolen my first night in, chain lock broken into, so this was my second, cheap, beater bike, that I walked up and down 3 flights of stairs almost daily in a renegade, derelict, building full of mold that had me coughing blo-d within 2 weeks. I had to stay the course though,. because I had paid 4 months advance, in cash. I've learned a lot of lessons the hard way. Big Island is an intense island. Pele energy is real. The Hawaiian islands are mystical and quite alive. The third photo is me preparing for a rare date. I was totally focused on school and survival.
