Sunset

The first day Eric was gone, I went to the beach to photograph the sunset. I never get tired of watching the sunset, It is different every single day. You could watch it from the same place every night and it would always be different...

I love this tree. It just seems so lonely and beautiful swaying in the breeze.


Well thats all for now. Eric and I plan on doing some hiking tomorrow, so I will have some more photos soon!

Guamalicious

Hey everybody! I decided to start a little blog to keep y’all up to date on life here in Guam.

I have been here exactly a week today, and starting to feel a bit more normal. I pretty much know my way around and can drive like the locals (30 MPH over the speed limit of 25). There are still things for me to remember such as: “Hafa adai” means hello and it is only polite to say when talking to anyone, even if they speak English (which everyone does), SPF 50 is needed just to drive to the end of the street, Spam comes in 50 flavors and needs an entire aisle at the supermarket, and Roosters do not show favorites, they will go to every house in the neighborhood to make sure EVERYONE is awake.

We have not done too many “touristy” things since I have been here. My first few days, I was just trying to get used to my new location and find out how to get around. One thing we did do before Eric went back to work was go to this cliff called “Two lovers point”. It is one of the biggest tourist destinations on the island and I can see why. The view of Tumon bay, the white cliffs and the ocean is just breathtaking. I was able to snap a few shots:

Eric and I also went to the beach a couple times. I have never been much of a beach person. -I know, I know, then why did I move to Guam? You ask. Well here is my reason:

Yup, that guy. Handsome, isn’t he?

Anyway, back to the beach. Even though I was never a beach person, I really love the beaches here. The ocean is a crisp blue, and the view no matter where you walk is gorgeous:

Oh, and check out the hermit crab. They are all over the beaches here. They inhabit most of the shells. So you have to be careful when you pick one up that you don’t get bitten.

Well I think that is enough of an update for today. I will be lonely for the next few days, so be prepared for some photos of my exploring the island (and probably random self portraits). Adios! :)
