commorates this event at Umatic Bay.

- Two Lovers Point also called Two Lovers Leap, is located on the western coastline north of Tumon Bay. This
is the site of one of Guam's most beautiful legends. The story is of a young maiden, distraught at the prospect
of a forced marriage with a Spanish captain, who eloped with her native lover. At the sight of a searching
party of Spanish soldiers the two lovers tied their hair together, locked arms and threw themselves into the
sea.

similar to this.

This Monuments stands in Agana harbor. A tribute to the sacrifice of those couragous Marines who here entered
Guam and wrested it from the hands of the Empire of Japan.

This picture is one of me (Larry Bittner) standing on a bluff overlooking the West coast of Guam. As best I
can recall, this was taken in June, 1967, when I was touring with some locals that I had made friends with.
After this photo was taken, we went to the home of then-Senator Ricky Bordallo (since, I believe he became
Guam's Governor and went on to other local offices) - he was either married to or was the sister of Madalyn
Bordallo, who was also heavily involved in Guam's and Marianna's politics. We got a tour of the home and I
believe they even served us lunch.
