Subject: RE: BS: Settling in Guam
This afternoon was Songfest. It was the 33rd annual event. The kids came together and did a really good job.

I don't know who won because we left early. They sang, we ate barbecue, and went home.

We are tired but it is a three day weekend. Monday is Discovery Day. March 1, 1521, Magellan anchored off Guam and sent a boat ashore. By the time he was done several Chamorros were dead and at least one village was burning. I don't know why the island insists on celebrating the event but it is good for a day off.
