Peter got a new hat!

El Nido!

We just returned home this morning at 4 am from our trip to The Last Frontier--El Nido, Palawan in the Philippines. If there's one thing I learned on this trip, it's this: TRUST IN RICO. We tried to make a reservation on the phone at Rico's Hotel, and it went something like this: "We'd like to reserve--" "ok ok ok" "a room--" "ok ok ok" "five nights?" "ok ok ok" "my name is--" "ok ok ok" "so everything is ok?" "ok."


so, we didn't feel too confident in our reservation, especially compared to our reservations in japan (this email is to serve as the reconfirmation of the confirmation of your reservation). but, we showed up, and they had our room! and it was beachside (on the bottom is a picture of the view off our porch), and cheap, and clean, and it had no mosquitoes! so, trust in rico.
