OK, this needs some explanation. Two Lovers Point is so named because...During the Spanish occupation of Guam in the 1600's a native girl was promised to a Spaniard captain by her father despite the fact that she was already in love with a Chamorro (native) warrior. They of course ran away to the cliff point where they tied their hair - and thus their souls - into a single knot to demonstrate their love for one another. They were found on top of the point by the girl's father and the Spanish captain who were searching for them. In an act of final defiance and, of course, undying love, the two lovers leapt from the cliffs to their deaths. Now Two Lovers Point (get it) is a symbol of never ending love and a popular spot to be married. Other lovers now travel to this spot and tie baggage tags or key chains (handily sold at the gift shop) with their names on them to the railing of the upper deck to demonstrate their undying love. At this point I will tactfully fail to mention that this much more commercial act demonstrates much less real "commitment" but is easier to clean-up than if one jumped off the edge. Oh wait...guess I went and mentioned it.

Also available at Two Lovers Point. Love Guam Smoothies! We borrowed their clever sign sans Smoothies.

No, the picture is not upside down. Odd tree roots on the path to Yokoi's Cave.  These roots meet the tree trunk about 5 feet above the ground. Almost like little houses inside the roots.
