4.5 hours in Guam

Arrive in Guam after 4 hour flight.  12:30.  Wander through Customs.  Ask various airport personnel for recommendations about what do do on layover.  Corral and bargin (unsuccessfully) with taxi dispatcher for driver to tak three people and their carry on luggage around the island for 3 hours.  1:00.  Stop at Two Lovers Point, which seems to be a major tourist attraction, where scads of young people, many from Japan, come to look out from the cliff from which two Spanish lovers hurled themselves some centuries ago.  Rain and dark skies from the tropical depression add to the ambiance but not to the view.  1:20 cab driver takes us to "the strip" where the hotels and shopping malls are.  1:45. We find a restaurant on the beach, which is mostly a bar but serves food. Beers from US and Japan.  Fish, oddly, is mostly flown in (we had salmon and tilapia?!), but the tuna sashimi was very good and local.  Great breeze and view. 2:30.  Driver excuses himself to pick up child from school.  Leaves business card so we can contact him if we get concerned about time and location.  3:20. E get concerned and pick up card -- no phone number listed.  3:30.  Driver returns!  takes us through town and to a park to see the Latte Rocks, centuries old formations that may have been used as pillars for ceremonial structures.  4:30. Traffic builds and cab driver, Manny, returns us to airport.  Presents us with rice balls, a discount on the trip, and a promise to take us around the island next time, and to teat us to dinner at his home.
