So far so good. We’re on our last day of stay here in Boracay and we’ve managed to accomplish several tasks. We’re able to visit the famous Jonah’s shakes, scour the island’s many seafood buffets, and successfully introduce mateo to the beach.

I know it may not be much but andrea and I have decided to narrow down our objectives to just these. Why? For one, mateo is not big enough to appreciate all the sites and sounds of Boracay. That’s why we didn’t go island hopping or engaged in any of the various water sports here. Second, this is not going to be our last visit here. I promised andrea we would come back someday when mateo’s old enough and ready for the other things that Boracay has to offer. Who knows? Maybe he might even get to snorkel!

For now, andrea, mateo and I are just relishing the feel of the sand and the beach because it just might be a long time before we get to try all these again.
