When I got up this morning (much earlier than my liking due to the my roommates...dog & cat), I saw that there was a hint of sky and it wasn't raining, so I decided to take full advantage of this opportunity and do something!
When I'm on the mainland, I walk regularly. I am thankful I live in the middle of nowhere and have a beautiful route to walk (over the creek...through the woods...between the fields...next to a pecan orchid). I say beautiful. My last walk was ruined by a coyote that tried to jump the fence (???) and didn't make it. It was hanging very dead and very smelly from the top wire.
I digressed.
I love to walk, but I rarely do it on the islands which is crazy because some of THE BEST walking paths are right here in Saipan. So I made a commitment this summer to walk the paths. Two nights ago, I walked the Kagman path with the other Laura. (Yes, there are two of us. Our birthdays are one day apart. We are both from Oklahoma. We both had the same band director, but in two different towns. How crazy is that!?) The Kagman path is some old WWII runways. Last year they added lights, so it is a great night walking path. (But I didn't snag any pictures.)
Today, I walked some of the Beach Road path. I will have to walk more of this because I would only do 1/2 mile in a direction and then back, then 1/2 mile in another direction then back because I didn't want caught in the great flood that was coming.
And the rain....it started just right after I got in my car. And it hasn't stopped since. (I'm now in a flood advisory. Just a little taste of home.)
