Tarzan Pools and MC Krauts.

I went on a hike today with my P.E. class...just to Tarzan Pools, which is a hike I have done before (and the only hike I have been able to go on) so I was happy to know that I would be able to do the hike, but damn. I have got to get my fat ass into better shape.  I have no problem doing the hikes, but my back hurts a lot when we have the steep inclines to go up and it is really bothersome.  Physically I am not exhausted or anything like that, my stupid back just hurts because it is stupid and fractured.

I have done nothing else all day.  I did eat. At a place called MC Krauts, and it was delicious. They're motto is "it's not healthy, but it's good" and indeed that is the truth.

My P.E. instructor, Reggie Cruz, myself and Linda.

This was a small bridge that just basically closes a large gap between two valleys.

Part of the view from the bridge. On my first hike to Tarzan Pools, I did not take this way, so this was a new experience and it was gorgeous.  According to my ALWAYS reliable P.E. instructor, the metal bridge was constructed by ancient Chamorros using tractors, who then hid the tractors deep in the jungles of Guam to avoid their discovery by the Spanish invaders.  This is why you see so many of the wild tractor tires that graze high in the valleys.  Sadly, no photos of the wild tires were taken.

The class

It was a good day.

I really wanted to see Jurassic Park 3D, but I don't think that dream is going to come true tonight. But if someone would like to make that dream come true, I would be eternally grateful.

For the remainder of the day, I will probably watch videos on YouTube, since that is the only way I can watch television in the comfort of my room since I lack a wireless connection in there.  I can't explain how awful this internet is on Guam, its like 1996 all over again and you are waiting for the dial up to connect and while you are waiting, you cook dinner, wash the dishes, take a shower, and finish a movie and then spend 10 minutes looking at Geocities before calling it a night.  I am getting old and I don't know how to feel about this.  

Also, Discovery Channel and Investigate Discovery; you make me angry.  I am in the UNITED STATES, I am not in international waters or a foreign country.  I am in a territory of the USA, which apparently to you, means that I am in a foreign country.. so frustrating.

Rock Island.

I went to karaoke and as always, I embarrassed myself, because that is what I am most excellent at doing.
Choice quotes from the evening: A lady never sweats.  
I can't think or remember any other choice quotes from the evening.  I may have been too intoxicated and just didn't realize it.

I should not be allowed to drink vodka redbulls.  I am fairly certain I now have an irregular heartbeat.

 I get way into my karaoke even though I am the worst singer ever.  All the other ladies are fantastic singers and I sounded ike a wounded water buffalo..I've never actually heard one before, but I'm assuming my singing voice is similar to the sound a water buffalo would make while in pain.

There is video, but I have not yet been privy to the audio/visual portion of the evening.  





 

Spring break Guam style.

So, my spring break hasn't been what I expected.  I chose to stay back because of some extenuating circumstances beyond my control...which are still having an effect on me, but I refuse to let it interfere with the awesome that is Guam in the spring.

I spent a Sunday at church..yes...judge away judgers.  I actually enjoyed myself.  I went to Ypao Beach and learned how to paddle board and gracefully fall into the water.  Minus the graceful part.  Met some awesome people and then ended up at Yogurt Land, which somehow lead to midnight ocean swims and Kmart at midnight to eat pizza.  Guam has the worlds largest Kmart, its a fact.  Japanese tourists love that place...also Japanese tourists are the nicest people ever.

I'm still waiting on pictures from paddle boarding where you can actually see me paddle boarding and looking like a complete dork.

We ate so much food at Sakura, this is what occurred before the midnight swimming.  No pictures of midnight ocean swimming, but it was lovely.

This was the best gelato I have ever had. Period.

This is a fish that leaves in the ocean.  I have no idea what it is, but just look at it and try not to smile.  I am not even sure what I am trying to write at this point..just whatever.  My spring break has probably been more awesome than yours.  That is all.
