the Pilipinas!

Boracay is a tiny little island in the Philippines (the Pilipinas!) that is sheltered by the other larger islands, making for one of the calmest and most peaceful beaches we've been to.  We went with our friends Chip and Jennifer and very much enjoyed our time with them.  It's been an exhausting and busy autumn for everyone, so the serenity from a long weekend on the beach was just what we needed before our last long winter in Seoul.  The grace the Filipino people extended to us was so sweet.  Their generosity and tenderness, the warmth of their hospitality was delightful.  A truly beautiful place and beautiful people.  By financial standards, they don't have a lot, but they have so much more to offer than what money can buy.
