the philippines // day 4

^we went to a 'secret beach' that you could only get to by swimming through this hole. it was THEE coolest experience. i wish i had a water camera to have been able to get pictures inside. 

^we were in the sun all day and within an hour i started looking red, even after lathering on sunscreen. after melanoma, i try not to take any chances. so a white long sleeved shirt it is! 

 i know i am not a good writer. i wish i could dig deep in my brain to sound profound and paint a picture of the experience but, it's not my specialty. i even get annoyed when i read my own writing so i apologize. 

we went island hopping and spent the whole day on a boat taking us around to different islands. i was thankful that i never got sea sick and got to enjoy everything. we did a lot of snorkeling and swimming. we swam in some gorgeous lagoons. i mentioned it before, but the water was so warm and never got cold no matter how long you were in it. i loved that. we saw two large sea turtles and ate an incredible lunch. besides swimming in the lagoons, my favorite part was seeing the amazing blue water. some parts were crystal clear with so many different shades of blues and greens. absolutely beautiful. i crashed at about 8:30 that night. there is nothing better than being exhausted from having too much fun. 

i've honestly missed the philippines a lot. it was dreamy. i hope so badly that something brings us back there again one day.
