Today was John and Betty's first real day on Saipan, and needless to say we didn't waste anytime. They were both wide awake around 8 am, somewhat groggy from the time change, but ready to go... This morning we took them down to Saipan Community School where they got a quick tour of our classrooms and our apartment. After that we headed downtown to Garapan where we ate lunch at "Saigon" a Vietnamese Resturant with $4 meals... it was so good, and John especially loved the fresh spiced papaya that burnt his mouth!

Well, atleast Betty enjoyed it!
After lunch we headed to the American Memorial Museum where we watched a 20 minute movie on the history of Saipan, and then headed to Bonzai and Suicide Cliff, two places where many lives were taken during the war. Not the funnest place, but definatly beautiful.

After our afternoon, we headed back home where we all layed around for a few hours... still trying to get them used to the time change. After we were all refreshed, we decided to take them to another touristy spot.... Shopping and Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. As for shopping we had to introduce them to Saipan-da... and then for dinner had live music "Jerry", who Mark and I go to the hard rock to enjoy... he defiantly got the parents relaxed and enjoying their dinner. Both Betty and John were singing at the top of their lungs... Great food, Great music and great company!
