APRIL 8, 2012: NEAR LAOLAO
Read More1 / 10
Funny, the things we drive by over and over again without even knowing they are there. Mark James ( http://underexposed.us/ ) posted some photos of this place and got Bev and I interested in seeing it. This is between the LauLau picnic area and the dive site. I'm reasonably sure that Bev is looking at an ancient Chamorro grinding stone. The large round stone is basically an early mortar and the small stone in Bev's hand is the pestle. This was probably used to grind grain, rice, and fadang nuts (Frederico nuts: The seeds of a local cycad {So no, you don't have to feel sorry for Frederico}).
