Expansion of Knowledge During Guam Tour

During our class of Micronesian Church History, I learned a lot that some of them were kind of funny; some were interesting; and some were kind of sad.

As you can see on this picture, this is a Catholic Church on the road to Fort Soledad in Guam. The recovery and maintenance of this church is very good. This is because most of the people in this island of Guam are Catholics. They have preserve this church and probably improved some part of it also. But the sad about this island of Guam is this. Look at the picture below.

This picture is a remaining of the first Protestant Church over here in Guam island. It was never restored after the war and seems like never will be restored in the future. I feel so sad when I look at this church of ours that is no longer useful but just a simple sight to reminisce about.

There were also some sight that were really interesting and was kind of new information to me. As you can see this little shelter, this is a meeting house and they call it Chocolate House. The first time I heard the name, I thought it was a shelter where they make chocolate bars in it. But I was wrong. They call it a Chocolate House because long time ago, Spanish people come to this little shelter on the mid-afternoon and drink hot chocolate while having a meeting. It is also known as Summer House. But later days, American governor's wife replaced the hot chocolate with hot tea. The walls of this shelter or so called summer house is made out of coral stones that was strong enough not to collapse when earthquakes hits the island.

There were also some interesting site like this picture. Oh yeah, I didn't know that caribou was friendly too... Hehe...
