Guam Day 102 - Post Ride Mexican Food




6/4/2022 - Let me tell you, this is the place for a burrito after a 50 mile ride. I mean, any burrito is probably pretty good, but this little side of the road stand now has a close place in my heart. Joan and I extended our south loop by tacking on another 10 miles to start at Asan Beach. We were wiped out by the end of it, very hungry by noon. We drove back south to Agat where the Buen Provencho taco stand is. We each had a burrito and on top of that split a fish taco. The fish taco was fresh grilled yellow tuna, amazingly fresh. What made the burrito was the cheese that was grilled into the torilla prior to rolling up all the ingredients. A little rice, pork, corn, black beans, and most importantly green salsa and chipotle sauce to top it off. I would ride another 50 miles just to have another one of these.

    This reminds me of being in Mexico and visiting great friends. And because if that I just love Mexican food. So cool that you can get such a treat where you are. It's worth the ride indeed.

    Fifty miles. Wow! There's not a soft enough seat in the world for me to attempt that! I'm super impressed!

    Adam gave us a driving tour of this 50 mile coastal ride. From the map I was mentally imagining a cruise along sandy beaches with gently undulating hills. The route was not at all what I had imagined. The hills were steep and continued throughout the route. Lots of soaring ocean views on top of the ancient lava flows with immediate drops to tiny villages and harbors. This is a TOUGH ride. Lots of gear changing and thigh burns. A two burrito ride would be justifiable. We had a terrific lunch at this amazing little restaurant last week. No big ride for me though!

Cars of Guam (COGs) - Ep 2 - New Vehicles

Image
  3/29/2022 - I know what you are thinking, if this ep is titled new vehicles, why of all the photos to choose from did you take a photo of a Prius? This one in fact as I stated from a previous post is our host families new car, and to drive for ride hail you need a fairly new car based on expectations of the stroll service.  The thing that has stood out to me here on Guam is most of the vehicles on the island are in US terms an import. Technically all things are imported on the island, as no vehicles are made here, but lets use the term "import" to mean external to the United States manufactures. This is a trend I see in both used and new vehicles, a large majority are from Japan. This has led me one to ask the question why is this the case, but also is there a way to get some data to back up what I am seeing? (what does a good engineer do to back up a claim, build a database) The next few images below are data tables, maybe less fun to read, but bear with me as I believe th...

GD 55 / Cars of Guam (COGS) ep 3 - Godzilla

Image
4/8/2022 - This car is so cool is gets both a COGs ep and a Guam Day (GD). If you haven't heard of the Skyline GTR before, let me tell you, you have missed out on a an amazing part of automotive history. This is an R32, built somewhere between 1989 and 1993. These vehicles were never designed to meet American road requirements, so these fall into that import law of the vehicle must be 25 years or older to register in the USA. One more sign of a cool Guam import culture from Japan, that's my learning of who live here on this vehicle.  The R32 Skyline GTR was made famous for its racing prowess right at the turn of the decade in touring car races.  It excelled so well, it received the moniker "Godzilla" as it beat any other manufacturer in its class during this time. The heart of this race car starts with its 2.5L inline 6, twin turbocharged engine, that produced a spec rating of 276 hp. Where this gets interesting is the Japanese automakers had an agreement that they wo...

Guam Day 48 - Return to Asan Beach

Image
  4/1/2022 - Can you believe its April? Where is the time going, Joan and I are just having too much fun on Guam I guess, the time is really going quick. I started out the morning getting a run in at Asan beach, still one of my favorite running spots on the Island. This time I read the history signage a little closer, Im not sure I have ever run anywhere where the signage literally says to keep an eye out for unexploded ordinance. No, this isn't an April fools joke. Luckily the main areas of the beach are well traveled and the national park service has done a great job over the last 70 years cleaning up and taking care of the preserve. If I see any white phosphorous I will be sure to leave it in the water. Eye opener though, even in a place where war has not been present for close to a century, this place continues to see the after effects of those events. We have more diving to come, but many of the sites will exhibit just this evidence as well, lots of discarding objects from WWI...
