Guam

Driving in Guam was quite the adventure!  They don't have road signs here! People here navigate by landmarks.  Every year they have a typhoon that knocks down all the signs, so they just stopped putting them back up.  When you ask for direction they tell you, "turn right at the big coconut tree, then take a loop around the statue, drive for a while until you come to an old house..".  Needless to say, we got lost several times :).  Sabrina was driving and I was the navigator.  I had a map, but it was missing roads so it was only slightly helpful.  It was lots of fun though!  We went to Asan Beach, a historic park of the Pacific War, it was gorgeous! We also went to Two Lovers Point.  It has a famous story of a forbidden couple who committed suicide there, sort of a Romeo and Juliet.  It was a beautiful viewpoint! I've never seen that much ocean.  When we went swimming it was so warm! The temperature was exactly the same as outside, definitely not something I'm use to in Washington! This morning we went to the local church, they are having PYC (Pacific Island Youth for Christ).  It was really enjoyable and the potluck was amazing!  We leave for Yap tonight, I'm so excited! I had my last hot shower this morning, and now I'm enjoying my last bit of air conditioning and high speed internet.  In a few hours we'll grab some taco bell and head to the airport!
