Paget Cave and Cliffs

Here's some pics from a hike to Paget Cave and Cliffs on the beautiful Island of Guam.
There was about a 40 - 45 foot drop from the cliff where we jumped off of to the ocean below! After watching other people jump and seeing them survive, I decided to take the plunge! :)
After swimming in the ocean, we decided to stop by Paget Cave on the way back. The water was cold but refreshing.

Muddin' on the Island of Guam

These are some pics from mudding. A few friends had some jeeps with big tires, so we decided to have some fun and get dirty at the same time! Island rednecks! Besides almost tipping over a few times and getting soaked with muddy water, it was great fun :D

I just recently went around the south end of Guam and went spearfishing again, so here's some pics.

Snorkling trip

I just went snorkling and spearfishing again--this time in the day time! During the day, the fish don't let you get as close as they do at night, which makes it harder to spearfish. However, I did manage to get one fish anyway--even if it was kind of small :) As it turned out, it was the only fish we got, since only me and another guy were really the only one who tried to spearfish, while everyone else was just enjoying snorkling or taking underwater pictures.

A Taste of Thailand

I had the privelege of visiting Dayton & Erin, Grace, and Isaiah this Christmas and had a wonderful time! They took me to Chang Rhi, in the northern mountains of Thailand to stay a few days with a missionary couple there. I even rode on an elephant! Grace rode on the elephant too, and wasn't scared a bit! We rode on a river speed boat too! We went up to the 74th floor of Bankok's tallest hotel and that's where I took the pictures of Bankok's buildings and roads. We went to numerous little shops and passed by road-side vendors. Many things were a lot cheaper there--a MacDonald's cheese burger was only about 32 cents! I guess that's why there were a lot of tourists vacationing there--your money goes further over there. We also went to two old palaces where past Kings and Queens had lived. Thailand still has a King, which is unique. I even got some souvenirs.
God kept us safe throughout our travels, and all the praise belongs to Him!

A Taste of the Island

Here are some pictures from when I went snorkling and
spearfishing with the guys--at night:
We used flashlights and Hawaiian sling fish spears, which have a 3-pronged
spear at one end and an elastic band fastened to the other end,
which can be stretched and held and then released when pointed
at a fish so the spear will shoot forward up to 6 feet to spear the fish
you're going for. I missed several fish,
but with some practice, I got the hang of it.
I got one little red snapper--that was exciting!
Actually, I speared two, but one slipped off the stringer and got away.
The experienced fishermen got the rest of the catch!

Kesley glad to see the beach again!

Me & the boys










The fishermen return!











Parrot fish, lobster, and octopus in the cooler:






















Here's a beautiful rainbow taken the next morning--actually
two rainbows, if you look closely--declaring God's glory and
His promise.










That's all for now. Until next time,
may God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand,

This is my roomate on the left
and Kesley on the right--the guy who took us out there.

This is a group of teachers and Micronesians that I went hiking with to Sella bay, where we went snorkling.

Beautiful hilly views... And beaches.












Kesley (L) and another Micronesian (R).



Kesley is the most friendly Christian micronesian I've met here and he said he would take me out to the beach or spearfishing whenever I wanted to go!
When my schedule allows it, I'll have to go again!
