Vacation Day #7: Saturday
The day began early -- up by 0600 and out the door by 0730. This was in an attempt to make it to the Jungle Cruise in time for its 0900 sail time. We made it and hopped on a small platoon. We were whisked away to a small Chamorron courtyard and cave, and we watched a lady make baskets out of coconut tree branches. A man also made fire by rubbing sticks together. After that, we hopped back on the boat and headed up the river through the jungle. We learned about different trees and animals of Guam. When we finished, we headed on around the island to Gef Pago -- an old city that maintains the traditional customs. So, we watched as Courtney was trained on how to husk a coconut and drink its juice. Finally, we found a place to eat before heading onto Navy for some snorkeling. While Mark and Olivia played on the beach, Courtney, Wade, and even Gerri donned the mask and snorkels and headed for the reef. We concluded the day with a good Mexican meal and heading home. Tomorrow should be another busy day with church and more scuba diving. Unfortunately, Courtney's camera batteries died, so we only snagged this one picture on our camera. Wade & Gerri have some good ones we'll have to add later.

Can't believe that grandma got in the water. How many life vests did she wear? Love, Sue P><>
