ok guam people you have to go here! it is amazing & so easy to get to! i can't believe we haven't been before now. well my friend cindy took lena & i to the caves this week & we had so much fun hanging out in the cave & swimming in the water. you drive down this road until it dead ends, hike a little down the road & find the cave entrance to your left. then it's just a short climb down into the cave & then you're standing on a man made concrete platform in front of the fresh water pools. i'm so glad cindy was there to help.... A. because she knew where it was & B. you can't really do this experience by yourself with a baby. it wasn't hard, but you can't climb down into the water while you're holding a baby & i'm not brave, um crazy, enough to jump in holding lena. no thanks.
the water feels amazing & there are really deep parts (deep enough to jump off parts of the cave into the water) & places that are shallow where you can sit on the rocks. cindy showed us a way to swim through the cave to get to the back pools. it was really cool, but in the moment i felt a little scared because you're basically swimming through this narrow path, cave rocks on either side of your head, & cindy's holding lena because i'm too afraid i'll dunk her, but we made it to the other side. & it is deep & dark over there. but the water is still crystal clear so you can see all the way to the bottom. so no fear of critters. i think. ;)
so we hung out a little while, met some japanese tourists & then headed home. it is a must do again for sure!

Your photos are beautiful! Which cave/s was this? I'll have to check it out!
yes, it is such a fun, easy adventure! if you are heading out the back gate at andersen you'll look for the left turn with a median (i think if you turn right that road leads you to dededo - the kfc) so you turn left & follow it all the way down to a parking area, then hike down a trail a little further & the cave will be to your left. it's so nice! take flash lights or candles for the back cave!
btw, so glad to have found your blog! so interested & inspired to read about your parenting philosophies & experiences. thanks!
