Antigu Na Songsong Chamorro (Ancient Chamorro Village)









On my way down to visit my Ancestors Latte Village.





I am in one of the many caves that the Ancient Chamorros utilized for shelter during bad weather.






My Son Gordon Jr. in the same cave.






A view from within the cave.







Heading down to the Latte Sites.

  2. Hafa Adai yan Saina Ma'asi Xavier. The trail you seek is by Banzai Cliff; it is on your left by the former EMO Bomb storage facility. If you are having trouble locating the place, e-mail me for further detail. It's a nice hike and I ask only of one thing; please respect our Ancestral sites which I trust you will.
