More Pictures from around Guam

We haven't been too active lately, it's been raining daily. I have an interview with the local aquarium, Underwater World, on Wednesday next week for a diver/aquariumist. I'm super excited! I may get to swim all day with the sharks, rays, reef fish, etc and feed, clean, play with them!
Here are pics from the last couple of weeks.


A view from a boonie stomp where I busted my knee up.



It was only about a 200 foot drop to the crushing surf of the Pacific.

Really neat blow hole

This is an ancient Chamorro tool used for grinding food.

The Betelnut It's like a nicotine nut. Pretty gross with a numbing sensation

The practice is to crack the nut in half then wrap the leaf around it, chew on it sort of like chewing tobacco.

Fuji-ichiban! a 24 Hr. Ramen joint.


Fara and Jakobe on one of our beach hikes


This was my first attempt at climbing a coconut palm.

At the top picking my coconuts, one for each of us!

Coming down the palm, concentrating hard. It looked a lot higher once I got to the top!

The prized coconut!

Me eating the young coconut I harvested, and Jakobe carefully opening his.

Opening the coconut, Jakobe was able to keep his completely intact so we were able to drink the milk. I busted both of mine open.


Jakobe and Fara at the War in the Pacific memorial

MMmmm Spam and egg sushi!! Only on Guam.

The Champagne of Beers!
