Very impressive with the Chamorro, though I have to admit that is about as far as my Chamorro skills go. It is the language of my paternal grandmother as she is a native of Guam. My dad, aunts, and their generation still spoke it though English was their first language. They are really the last generation to be able to speak it fluently. It is quite interesting to listen to my aunt be speaking normal English to my grandmother then all of a sudden weave back and forth between English and Chamorro, all withing the context of a single paragraph or even sentence. I'll be visiting them there this July for only the second time ever so I will have to make sure and pick up some words and sayings. It is another dying language much like Hawaiian, though just like Hawaiian there are a lot of efforts to revive and keep it alive by the younger generations. But I reluctantly digress back to my original topic......
As far as the rain goes, I would say it rains at least a little every single day, some more than others. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my lilikoi trouble or if its more the sun/temperature. As far as the vog goes, I don't think so because we've been pretty vog-free here the last week and a half. That is the same time I have owned the lilikoi vine. Perhaps I am a little overzealous in thinking that I can grow it here? I have read somewhere that they (the purple variety) can go up to 4000'.
