Located in the southern part of the island of Guam, Merizo is a coastal village full of Chamorro culture and is known as the "land of fish and rice" in Guam. Known for its pristine beaches, crystal clear waters and friendly people, visitors can snorkel and dance with the coral at Talofofofo Bay or climb the cliffs of Puntan Dos Amantes for a breathtaking view of the Philippine Sea. The village retains its traditional coconut groves and Spanish colonial-style buildings, and the weekly fish market offers freshly caught local seafood. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Guam's popular tourist areas, Merizo is a hidden paradise, perfect for experiencing the slow life of the Pacific and the untouched island flavor.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
