Tikis and Chi-Chi

---

Really, tiki themes and Africa have little in common, and yet, oddly enough, the Kona Tiki Lounge in Oakland seemed like the perfect place to throw a going-away party. And it was. Leanne, my close friend, was kind enough to put this wonderful shindig together, complete with a chocolate-chocolate-chocolate cake from Merritt Restaurant, a favorite place of ours. Also tasty were the Macadamia Chi-Chi drinks that were served up at Kona. But, ultimately, it was the Scorpion Bowls (meant for 2-3 people) that did me in. Let’s just say the end of the party was a tad-bit hazy. However, the highlight of the evening was the company. Thank you so much for everyone who dropped by, it was so great to see you all before I left.

I would like thank Leanne, Jason, Will, Bowen, Jose, Christian, Mom and Dad for their generous contributions of gear for my trip.
