Like a postcard...

BORACAY: White sandy beaches and crystal clear water....it really was just like a postcard! It was truly paradise....what more can I say?These are pictures of the resort that we stayed at called "Fridays". We literally walked out of our hut and onto the beach!

The is the hut that we stayed in on the beach...complete with it own hammock! It was actually very nice!! They had mosquito netting over the bed, which made it look very romantic. But we soon discovered that it wasn't just for ambiance!! :o) We woke up the first morning with a few bites each (we haven't been taking our malaria meds)....so we slept inside the netting after that!






The sunsets were amazing on the beach! The pictures really don't do them justice.

We went sailing, snorkeling, and "Filipino fishing" (which consists of a plastic bottle with fishing line wrapped around it, and a hook and sinker at the bottom). The Filipinos that took us were catching fish left and right! I would love to say that that we caught that whole bucket of fish, but sadly it ain't so! They were all caught by the Filipinos...that is all except for the ONE hubby finally caught!! We asked them what they were going to do with the fish. And they said they would take them back to their house to eat for breakfast!

These are some huts/houses built on a hillside right on the ocean. We were told they were built by very wealthy people, and most of them are vacation homes.






It was crazy to watch these tiny Filipino kids all piled on this canoe out in the ocean! Some of them weren't any bigger than Addie!

These are the big sandcastles they build along the beach. The resorts hire people specifically to come build a sandcastle on their beach. Now that is a job *P* would LOVE to have when he grows up!!! Can you imagine....getting paid to play in the dirt! Isn't that every boy's dream job!?! The one on the right is something that the Filipino kids built at night and put candles in. I'm sure they're future sandcastle builders in the making!

We really did have a great time in Boracay! I had forgotten how much I love the beach and the ocean. I would have to say that my favorite part was definitely sailing! Although, the mango shakes there were pretty good too! :o)
