How To Wear A Skirt: Hafa Adai!

One way to celebrate existence is to acknowledge the beauty of the world around it. And one way to acknowledge the beauty of this world is go and see it. And I am one who has been blessed with much privilege to see the beauty of some parts of this planet. And to be able to do this with a cause is the heart of this privilege.

Our latest trip for a missions project last October is in the beautiful island of Guam--a place which is three hours away from home (by plane), but feels a lot like home.

It is indeed very beautiful. And the people are so beautiful. There's too much beauty in this existence, ain't it?

There are too many photos as we've spent two weeks in it. And I've already filtered this, but I just wanna share (to possible pedestrians who will pass by my page) how beautiful it has been.

The locals were very welcoming, and we had lots of tour during our free time. Looking at our schedule, it has been a busy two weeks for us as we were there to do the cause of the visit, plus, we also obliged (much to our joy) to invitations from the lovely people there.

Let me give you a look around the island...

RANDOM TOUR

Given that it's a US territory, you can find bits of the States in it. Like this replica of that very famous statue.

And this is the bay by that replica. Isn't Guam so blue?

These are my teammates having a team devotion time near the statue, by the bay.

Another statue. This one's found in the Two Lover's Point Park. And i guess they resemble two lovers.

The legend in a tablet. Which from this shot is quite difficult to comprehend.

So we have another wall of hearts someplace in the planet. Still at Two Lover's

And the endless blue... haaaaay this one's the real deal. I have already started imagining a room to build with a very close view of this one. A plan trapped in the imagination

Asan Park bay

Cannot remember. Ugh

Western trees in the tropics.

What is Guam without the latte stones. This one's a distant view from the latte stones. These latte stones date back to the time before anything has been written in record in Guam, so it's real purpose isn't proven. But the locals were most comfortable believing it used to be where houses were founded way back then.
