So before the semester started a couple months ago, my roommate and I took a trip to the Philippines! It was cool to get away to the beach in the middle of the summer! The weather was absolutely beautiful and so was the water! My roommate said that the area was not quite as developed as most resort areas, but I can't say anything about that because this was my first time in a tropical place! We stayed at a small, but nice, hotel. They had free breakfast everyday and were super nice and friendly and had an adorable little dog that ran around the place. It was only a couple minute walk to the beach, which was beautiful! The only thing I would complain about was the lack of shade (I burn so easily!) and the locals who sold stuff along the beach. Of course I want to give to the local economy while I'm there, but walking along the streets I couldn't look at anything without being pressured and was even approached when I was just sitting on the beach trying to relax. But, people have to make a living so I understand. It was a wonderful vacation and I would love to go back again!
Look! It's a bitty sand crab!
Beautiful sunsets!
Look at that clear water!
Another sunset.
Typical transportation in Boracay. There were taxis like this (bikes with sidecars) everywhere for people to ride in! Even the locals all seemed to use this transportation.
