Colleen finally made me climb to the top of Mount Topochao the other day. (Thanks, Colly!) Mount Topochao (or Topotchao, depending on who you ask) is the highest point on Saipan. One can see neighboring islands Tinian and Managaha and the entire outline of Saipan. A statue of Jesus and a cross sit at the top. Every Easter, pilgrims carry a new cross to the top of Topochao in celebration. As we stood there taking everything in, a rain cloud passed over us. We were literally in the clouds! Truly, a God moment.
