Dusk or Dawn?



Hagatma Bay in Guam, west of Hawaii, though it closely resembels it.


   Another tucked away letter.  My how things can accumulate in such a short time. 



 I went to the local post today and picked up some Hagatma Bay stamps.  I was a bit disappointed with what little was available. I was like, this is it?

 It's no wonder kids don't want to collect stamps. What they need to do is come up with game piece stamps and a super cool game similar to Yugioh or any of the other card "games". 

 Thank you Luis for the cover from Spain, I can add it to my growing quest page , sorry for not posting this sooner.

 Oh here, it might help if I upload this scan.

  I've lost it to the top of my page. It will have to stay there.

Dusk, not dawn, Jimmie. From the USPS: The Postal Service will issue this stamp in the Scenic American Landscapes series to honor the Territory of Guam. Located approximately 1,600 miles east of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean, Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands. Approximately 212 square miles in size — roughly three times the area of Washington, D.C. — Guam is home to a population of approximately 158,000 people, including native Guamanians, known as Chamorro, as well as others of European and Asian descent. Today the island is a popular destination for tourists, with some 1.5 million people visiting the island annually to enjoy its natural beauty. The stamp features a photograph by Michael S. Yamashita of a sunset of Hagåtña Bay in Hagatna, the capital of Guam.


Thanks Roger  Guam also has a large us military base, I sailed past it in the Navy, but never got a chance to stop there.  It's Dusk then.
