Team Magma was Alliance Captain Eight. For lunch we walked to the Honey Glazed Ham Hawaii on King Street. We got a ham sandwich,
soup, and a ham plate. We had enough to take home for dinner Sunday. Photo by Andrea.


We ate at the little pocket park between King Street and H1 Freeway. We got back just before the elimination matches started.
