Two Lovers Point...

The Chamorro legend of the Two Lovers is that a beautiful Chamorro maiden was being forced into a marriage with someone she didn't love. Her true love was a strong Chamorro warrior. So instead of being separated forever, the maiden and the warrior tied their hair together and jumped of this outcropping of coral very high above the ocean. It's a story that has many versions on Guam. The view is quit fantastic.

In addition to the ocean views, there is this really cool DEEP chasm at Two Lovers Point. It makes your toes tingle to look down. I could only sort-of look down, because it was really deep and frightening even with a waist high rail.















Me and my warrior-could not tie our hair together because one of us is hair challenged and we got to marry our true loves.


The picture does not do justice to the amazing view. Despite all of the dumpy buildings and mundane businesses in the towns, Guam is fabulously beautiful and I have yet to see more that 10 people together on a beach (they were Japanese tourists).

Fishing off the coast of Merizo

Deep sea fishing is a lot of waiting for a bite on one of many lines followed by a lot of activity if you actually get a bite. But the waiting is entirely pleasant if you have taken your sea sick pills and have a lovely place to stretch out.











Catching the first fish is really exciting, but a little bit hard to reconcile with my vegetarian tendencies. I enjoy suchi and sashimi a lot, but some how seeing how beautiful the fish is alive changes my enthusiam for eating it dead. I did, however, enjoy some of out catch later in the evening (yes, raw). Thirteen fish later, I was really glad they stopped biting our lures and we could just enjoy a nice boat ride.











I cannot believe what a fun life I have with Don. He is determined that I should have everything I want. I never imagined I would have such a great time when I was 50. Guam is certainly as beautiful and exotic as I imagined it would be, but also conviently has a Kmart and BX (tropical jungles, coral beaches, crystal clear water and the blue light special).
