Our afternoon began at the peace park memorial, which was the headquarters of the Japanese army while on Guam. It was there where a Japanese general and his men took their own lives, which was an honorable way to die, rather than being captured by the Americans. After the peace park, we went to the Air force base and went to the beach. You have to have special clearance to get on the base. We had an awesome time collecting crabs, shells, and splashing in the waves. It wasn't until after we left the beach that Bryce realized he forgot his sunglasses. Some of us went back to the beach after dark to go get them. Bryce ran down the beach, and there they were, sitting on a rock.
After the beach and supper we went to the "Rota walk" which is called that because it is on Rota drive. All the houses are covered in lights, and there are different tables where you can get things like popsicles, snow cones, or trinkets like bracelets and glow sticks. The walk ended at the general's house, where there was a brass band playing familiar tunes such as "Let it Snow" and Blue Christmas." Over all, it made for a very exciting day.
