3rd Time in Boracay

The most famous beach in the Philippines in on an island named Boracay. We've been fortunate to have already been with family on 2 occasions and really enjoyed it. Ryans aunt and uncle made the trip out to the Philippines for a week to visit us and check up on what Ryan has been doing at Focus.

After their arrival on Sunday we left Monday morning for the journey to Boracay arriving in the afternoon and easily finding a beautiful beach front cottage with 2 bedrooms, a hot shower bathroom, sitting room and great porch. It was one of the nicest accommodations i've ever stayed in and everyone had enough room.

We stayed for a couple of nights and although there have been some typhoons blowing through the Philippine area we were able to enjoy the on and off again showers by playing on the beach and in the huge waves. We spent one day on a boat snorkeling and going around the island. We enjoyed the great food the tourist savvy island had to offer while Ryan and I experienced our first Lobster as a late night snack. The first night we were able to get to a place and sit down while they brought the Lobster out of the tank, trying to wriggle out of the guys hands. It had beautiful green and blues to it, it was almost too bad they had to take it away and cook it. The second night Ryan's uncle went to the wet market and bought the Lobster himself taking us back later to show us the market. Prawns the size of your hand, tons of fresh Lobster and Crab, we even saw an Octopus. It was great.

Unfortunately we had to make our way back to Bacolod so that the boys could spend at least one night in the office working so we left early Wednesday morning starting out by taking a pumpboat and arriving back in Bacolod that afternoon.
