We began our first full day in Boracay with some great complimentary wagyu beef tapas and a quick dip in the water.

As you can see, the sun decided to show itself a bit today, though from what I've been told is nothing like how the weather can be like in the summer. Considering it was full humidity at 80 degrees, I was perfectly fine dealing with this "off season" weather. 100+ with full sun blazing on top of the humidity? No thank you!

Today we spent the day mostly getting to know the area and doing a little paddle boarding.

Some interesting sandals being sold here...

There's a lot of stray animals here, both cat and dogs. Unfortunately, like with people, their living conditions here are considerably rougher than the states, so despite the high number of animals we saw, this pic of a relatively healthy looking cat will be my only post of them for the trip. For animal lovers traveling here just a reminder this ain't Europe or Japan, be prepared for some tough sights.
