Today Opal Jaquette, Mimi's surrogate mom and houseguest, was our "escort" to various spots on the island. First, we stopped at Hebrews, a coffee shop at Harvest Church near us. (Don't you love the word "He-brews" for the name of a coffee shop?! That is a clever name.) Then we went to the University of Guam to the Micronesia Center in pursuit of several books Ann had seen the last time we were there.
After that we went to one of our favorite island attractions, Jeff's Pirate Cove and had lunch. We had delicious Greek salads. The wind was so strong that the lettuce in Opal's salad began blowing off the plate! We chatted with Jeff a while and then continued our journey to a bookstore and then to Chamorro Village. We walked around there a while. (It is much calmer during the day than when we went last Wednesday night.)
This afternoon Mimi drove us to the beach at Adelupe Point, the site of my elementary school. Our plans to swim were changed to "Let's just stroll along the beach" because the waves were HUGE, and the currents were strong. Mimi said that it is quite unusual to see waves that high. It was pretty exciting!
Tonight for supper, in tribute to one of Guam's favorite foods, we had Spam. Good and salty. Yum! Yum!
It was another fun day.
