:: Find Saipan ::

So Monday, I found out that my life was worth about 10USD, it was really a sad conclusion really. That afternoon I had volunteered, actually more like recruited. To take a friend’s friend out on a sight seeing tour of all the typical tourist spots on the island, I didn’t mind so much, she was attractive after all. And who doesn’t mind having a member of the opposite sex sitting next to you while driving your sports car around island. We started from middle road, stop by the lighthouse, which I have to admit someone did a decent job of cleaning and repainting the premises. Then we stop by Mount Toppacho*, then the old radar station, and then Bonsai cliff, last command post, and then it was Grotto. Grotto is one of these places that you just have to see for yourself, pictures and words just can’t do justice to describe the natural beauty of the place. The sunlight coming threw the vegetation, the drops of water that fall from the caves high ceiling, the sound the waves makes as it breaths in and out of the Grotto’s lagoon. Its … almost magical, plus it’s the first place I had .. um intimate contact with a girl back in high school, back then there was a rope that was ran across the 1st cave area on the back left side of the Grotto. One could swim over sit on the rope and be in some privacy. Okay back to the story at had, I told her the view was much better on the small rocky island in the middle but we had to cross the small channel when the waves resided. She hesitated at first but wanted to give it a shot. So during our dash across, she had gotten her shoe stuck in a rock, at the same time the waves had come in. In an instance the waves had taken her left shoe out to the sea. Me being the macho man I was, took my time to take my shirt and shoe off and proceeded to jumped in to get her shoe. During the whole time she was saying it was okay, and that it was only a shoe. I figured because she always had that Gucci bag the shoe was worth some considerable monetary value. After I heroically saved the shoe from its watery grave. I found out a) it wasn’t her shoe and b) it was only worth about 9.95 from payless shoe store.

… yea risked my life for 9.95, and I don’t think she was impressed at all.. oh well
