Two Lovers Point

Recently we checked out a famous tourist spot here on Guam called Two Lovers Point. This is a classic Romeo and Juliet story. According to the legend, a Chamorro Chief arranged for his daughter to marry a Spanish Captain but she loved a young Chamorro warrior. When the father found out he became angry and sent soldiers after them. The two lovers were chased up a cliff above Tumon Bay where, without any other option, leaped to their deaths together.

This landmark is seen by many from the air as they enter Guam. It is a tradition to leave luggage tags here.
The view from this cliff is amazing.
And steep!
