Cow Riding in Guam




Hey y'all!! Things here are well, though I am missing my stereo. We've only been here 3 weeks and have probably seen just about every little part of this island. We've drove around this island completely at least 3 or 4 times. It's extremely small and is surrounded by beautifully warm, crystal clean water. My dad said that we would learn to scuba dive while we were here. (I really hope that I can get my license while I'm here too.) Well on one of the trips around the island we stopped at some old fort that was used during Pearl Harbor. There was a local there with a cow, caraboo, bull, or something. He told all of the tourists here to take a picture with it. After everyone was done taking pictures he asked if anyone wanted to ride it. Well of course my family is a bunch of chickens because I was the only one to ride it. It was really fun though it didn't go very fast. While I was on it my parents kept taking pictures of mine and the cow's butts. (I thought it was quite rude.) It was amazingly fun.


For 4th of July we went down to Navy where everybody and the brothers were, because the entire island was invited. We watched a spectacular fireworks show and many local bands performed. The biggest performance of the night was Bad Company. I personally thought they were good but my parents thought they sucked. Plus, the lead singer kept calling it July 4th. He joked about feeling all out of place by saying "I feel really wierd being British and here because I'm here helping you celebrate the day you kicked our butts". It was kinda a location joke but it was cool.
