day 418 | vacation

[There is more to Hachijo Island than just creepy hotels filled with fungus--though there are plenty of those.

But one doesn't need to visit one for impressive-looking black-sand beaches with tide pools and sea turtles frolicking nearby, or tall, green cliffs that fall off into the sea, or mountains to climb, or hot springs with views of the aforementioned cliffs and beaches or even overlooking a waterfall.

Nemesis comes ashore with satchel full, looking between the greenery and the water and the mountains rising nearby, and then over to Hurricane, grinning]

...Ready to relax?

Excuse you...it's gonna be the best one we ever made.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's gonna be the only one we ever made.

[unbr8kable]

It's gonna be the best. Might even be so good, we don't ever gotta try to top it. Sometimes that happens.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, if it's perfect the first time...

[unbr8kable]

Sometimes it is. Unbeatable. We can see.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess I oughtta dig up a pecan pie recipe, too, to see how they do the filling on that one.

[unbr8kable]

[Waves a hand]

Butter and sugar and maybe a pecan, prolly. Who needs a recipe for that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's supposed to be kinda gooey, though.

[unbr8kable]

...Mochi? Or cheese, maybe...

[crossmyheartandhope]

Cheese'd be bad end for sure.

[unbr8kable]

People love cheesecake. People love nuts. What's the problem?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure, but you don't use the gooey kinda cheese for cheesecake.

[unbr8kable]

Don't you?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ain't it one of those dessert cheeses? Like... whatsit, mascarpone or whatever?

[unbr8kable]

"Natural"?

"Torori"...?

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'gotta be like... real mild, though, don't it?

[unbr8kable]

It's cheese flavor. The flavor of cheese.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay, but different cheese has got different flavors.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Camembert, or natural. That's why they got different types of cake.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, I'm so making you a cheese sample platter.

There's like a billion kinds of cheese.

[unbr8kable]

A billion? That's so many... Howcome the store's only got like two?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Cause Japan ain't big into cheese. 'Least, not the kind of cheese that don't get made in Japan.

[unbr8kable]

Huh... Well, jury's out on if this foreign cheese is worth nothing or not, but I'm willing to hear your argument.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Some of it's real good.

You'll see, when we get back I'm totally gonna make us a cheese sampler.

[unbr8kable]

Didn't even know cheese could be sampled...

Wonder what other kinds of food is out there just. Unknown.
