We are two lazy people for a Wednesday. After a few calls to the mainland we left the hotel at 11am, went to Kmart to get a cooler, waters, ice and some towels. Hit the best breakfast joint we've tried so far (Hafa Adai Cafe). Then headed to the northern most point of Guam, Ritidian Point. It's home of the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, and has one of the best beaches we've found yet. You have to drive a long boring road - boring due to the military base on both sides, which is why they have such lush tall plants here. It also contains the messiest batch of pot holes I've ever seen. I could probably lay down in a few and never be seen again.
We played/swam/tried to stand in the current for a few hours and then Stephen buried me in the sand from the waist down - sorry no photos were taken. The sand is this soft but course coral sand that's mushy when you step on it, but feels like a good exfoliant, so I tried rubbing my feet in it a bunch.
It's so strange to be on a beach like that where we only see maybe 5 other groups and think "we live here." Definitely a place we'll be spending free time at.
We left around 330pm, thank god, the gate is closed at 4pm. Headed home to the Hilton (Hilton Home Count Down : 3 days). Tried the Jamaican Grill for dinner and Stephen had some great ribs and 1/4 jerk BBQ chicken, I had the chicken too. Also on the list of places we'll go again.

Sounds like another tough day for our fearless traveling friends. Food and beaches. I don't know how you survive.
We'll miss you this weekend as we're going out drinking in Boston for my birthday. Lee's having a football weekend, so we won't see them either. Order a stiff drink for me on Saturday night and be sure to pay $10 so you feel like your in Boston.
