If there is one thing that I can say with absolute certainty is that the people of Guam LOVE their food. They had planned my whole week of lunches for me the afternoon of the first day. I have had Jamaican, Chinese, Mexican and finally yesterday Guam's own Chamorro. I am pretty sure that these people have Southern roots - why? - because one of their favorite foods is ham and beans - well it's mongo beans instead of pinto....I know that it looks kinda gross but I can assure you that it was delicious and the ham just melted in your mouth. And get this -I have only bought one dinner since I have been here - I have eaten my lunch leftovers every night! AND they LOVE their BREWED ice tea. Here is something interesting - they don't put packets of sugar on the tables - they put a little pitcher of sugar syrup - at the hotel, they have little cups of it like little coffee creamers.
I love the people I am working with - the Chamorro people are very proud of their heritage and proud to be Americans. The hospitality here is incredible - one of the ladies even gave me a rosary today. I am going to be sad to leave them - here are a few of them.
Most of them are Catholic and I am looking forward to getting out over the weekend and take some pictures of the churches - there is one right down the street from here that is gorgeous.
Last night I went driving just to see what I could see and I found a church to go to Sunday.
So this weekend I will get out and take many more pictures - I am planning my itinerary. See you soon!
