Philippines - Boracay, a sense of place

As an introduction to the next leg of our Philippines trip, I think it's probably best to spend less time on what we did and just show you where we went.

Boracay is a small island with some of the most amazing beaches in the world. Like many world-class vacation destinations, it is a testament to some of the more disturbing dichotomies of our world- extreme wealth and extreme poverty, incredible beauty and incredible destructive power, hunger and plenty. I will explain more about our daily activities and what actually drew us to Boracay in the next post. For now, I just hope you can get some sense of the place.
