The first known contact with West occurred with the visit of Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. This historical
marker commorates this event at Umatic Bay. The wreck of a WWII Japanese 2 man submarine (pictured below) is along the shore just a couple hundred feet behind this marker. |

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. | |

Those who took the long hike through the mosquito infested, trail to Talafofo Falls may remember a scene 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. Photo courtesy of Tom Hoover 1958-59 and 1961-62. |

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. Photo courtesy of Larry Bittner YN-3 VW-1 67-68. |
