Today we had an appointment at the government complex (which is housed in the buildings of my former school on Guam, Adelupe Point Elementary School). My cl;assmate, Lupe, had arranged for us to meet the Governor, Felix Camacho. Several more classmates joined us there, Barcy Diaz Martinez snd Ray Aflague. Lupe Perez, of course was there, as were Joe Mendiola and his wife, Agnes. Our hostess, Mimi Santos, was also in attendance. What a welcoming, hospitable group are the people of Guam! The Governor's photographer was on hand to take our photo and each of us received a copy. After that, we visited a military museum which focuses on Guam in WWII. The museum is a private enterprise in tribute by a Marine to a buddy killed in VietNam...very impressive.
Tonight we went to the lively Chamorro Village. What a happening place! Among the attractions were musicians, dancers, food vendors, as well as many other merchants selling their wares. It is the place to see and be seen!
Another big day is on the agenda tomorrow. We'll see what unfolds then...
