We remember this trip for how difficult Titus was during his terrible twos. Here is a wonderful corrective to that memory:
Boracay was breathtakingly beautiful. It was the most beautiful place we have ever been to. It exceeded our expectations. The sand was really white and powdery. The water was crystal clear, but seen from the beach, it was a magical display of different hues of blue from light blue to turquoise to the dark blue of the deep sea. There were many establishments and tourists, but it did not feel crowded at all. We did not engage in water activities because sitting by the beach and enjoying a beer while reading a book was enough to fill the day. We enjoyed the food at Don Vito's where we had the best Osso Buco and a glass of Sidecar. We also had a great dinner at Lemon Cafe where the tiger prawns with coconut risotto was exploding with flavor. We spent a lot of time walking around the shops at D'Mall and taking lots of photos - almost every angle was picture perfect. On our last day, we built a sandcastle and we really started to feel relaxed. Magnus walked around carrying a bag while butt naked. I swam for a while and prayed, thanking the Lord for the sheer majesty of the place and the fact that we were there as a family celebrating the new year.
