Double Reef

I apologize for not updating the blog sooner. The past week was really no different from the last. As I reach my halfway point every weekday seems like groundhog day so I've been trying to break up the monotony with something different on the weekends. Saturday morning we woke up and went on a hike to double reef in search of the small secluded beach we see everyday when flying. The hike starts out as a poorly maintained jeep/atv trail and then branches off into some of the most rugged razor sharp coral I've seen on the island. Total it's a 5 mile hike roundtrip with about half of that on the coral. What awaits at the end of the hike is one of the coolest little beaches on Guam. It's a little overgrown with trees and it's completely secluded surrounded by coral cliffs. From the beach the swim out to the reef is another half mile or so and it's equally awesome. There are tons of blue starfish and the coral is very vibrant since it's not trafficked like at the other beaches. My dad got me an underwater case for the canon so I got some good use out of it. All told I took over 120 pictures in the 2 hours we were in the water. I posted some of the pictures here.

I can't wait to take some pictures of Cole snorkeling in Hawaii in 2 months. Hope everyone had a good July. I've got a busy August but I'll try to do a better job of keeping everyone up to speed.
