Paradisiac Boracay



Boracay ranks in the 10 ten beaches of the world! It is truly a paradise on earth.



People are very friendly, the food quality is better then in the rest of the country due to tourism.



The temperatures can get really hot and it cools down at night, making it nice and relaxing for a drink and walk on the beach.

You Gotta Try Everything At Least Once!


A balut is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines.
Needless to say I got one for 20 pesos ($0.50) at the beach. I cracked the eggshell, added a pinch of salt and some vinager and just went for it.
I tried not to look at it because I wouldn't of been able to eat it. It had an interesting mix of flavors and textures. You gotta try everything at least once, and this was my first and last time eating balut.

White Beach





Philippines!



This is by far the BEST, my favorite ice cream. Its a popular Filippino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served cold in a tall glass or bowl.



You can get them anywhere. They have them all over the place, as they are mmm...delicious. This

C'est La Vie A Paris!




Reputation


Somethings I noticed is that all the things that you hear about France is true.

Every time books or tourist describe Buenos Aires they say "Is the Paris of Latin America" and now I can see why, it is almost exactly like Buenos Aires.



I always heard that French people are rude, well that's because they are! Most people I spoke too didn't like I had an accent or that I spoke English.

I speak a little French so I dared to ask directions to the Eiffel Tower to this woman... She told me very serious where it was but she spoke too fast, so I asked her if she could say that again a little slowly... She said "No"



They didn't even wanted to tell me where the Eiffel Tower was! and we were a block away!



The buildings, are so beautiful. The people were so glamorous. They all dressed so well. Very nice!


The Louvre museum...



Notre Dame Cathedral...











View from La Defense



Paris is the most romantic city I've been to so far. Totally the fashion capital of the world. Designer handbags gorgeus boots, ou la la

Malta... a pearl in the Mediterranean

Oh Malta... SO beautiful

I started my traveling Season so I decided to start my own blog to keep a little journal.



I started my adventure in Malta, right next to Italy. It's a beautiful place.

The people were really nice and short! I had a lot of fun going dancing there...


The scarred battlements dominate the view and spark the imagination.




The harbor at Valletta is perhaps my favorite spot in Malta




Not bad for a blackberry picture...

Valleta



Valletta, beautiful city surrounded by walls, is Baroque in character. However, it has elements of Mannerism, Neo-Classical with hints of Modern architecture located in selected areas. Valletta did not escape World War II unscathed; although it remained essentially Baroque in character, the war left major scars on the city.

Salt Lake City the Beautiful


Beautiful to me

I was driving down 4th south coming back from my pilates class and it hit me that the city I've been complaining about for so long is just as beautiful as any other.

Today was no special day in fact it was foggy but today Salt Lake City is beautiful to me.
