This weekend we went to the beach and it became my favorite place in the world.
I’ve kind of been overloading you with pictures of kids, snack foods, and dirty crowded streets, but I am dying to show you some more pictures of another side of the Philippines: the beach.
Because it’s really, really beautiful.
The highlights were big blue sky and sweet, clean air,
low tide explorations,
phenomenal colors and hermit crabs and shoreline adventures (see that pink pinhole speck at the very end of the rock wall? that’s me almost killing myself on a solo beach climb),
cute husbands,
magic hour photos,
and calm. Isn’t calm amazing?
Also noteworthy – in honor of calm, I didn’t bring my computer and turned my phone off for a full 24 hours {gasp}. No tweeting, no facebooking, no blog-checking, and no instagramming.
The verdict? I need to do that more often.
And I generally need to go to the beach more often.
