Our travel pages - the pictures and the tales that go with them.We got up this morning about 10 and rode into Acapulco proper with Martin and Mary. I guess I need to do a little geography lesson here.
Acapulco is actually the large bay on the left. We are actually in Acapulco Diamante - noted as Diamante on the bottom right side of the map. Most of the resorts today seem to be located in this area. I would dare say that most of Acapulco proper is frequented more by the locals. Anyway, we went into town to go to the market (el mercado), but after walking a LONG way in the still HOT air (90 my butt), we discovered that most of the market is only functional on the weekend. We ate lunch at a small sea food restaurant called La Cabaña which is on Playa Caleta and walked a bit on the beach there before we headed back toward the resort. This first picture is at the bay, and the second shows the second bay, Diamond Point and the water front looking south. The third is the train that goes around the property. (I was wrong the other day, it's a 4-2-4.)
Mario and I hit the pool (and the piña coladas) for a bit when we got back. We are both starting to get a little burned - Mario on the right side of his legs and his shoulders, me on my left breast and my belly and of course, both of us on our faces.
We had tickets (US$49) for Havana Nite - all the food and drink (more piña coladas) and a show to boot. The food was great, the drinks were strong, and there was virtually NO breeze where we were. Shortly after the guy next to me starting smoking a Havana cigar, I got physically ill and became too hot, and had to call it a nite. Not sure if the cigar really influenced my getting to hot or not, but it definitely put a damper on my evening. But Mario and his folks finished the show and I had a good time too even though it was cut short. After a long cold shower and some gatorade I feel better. Not sure what is on tap for tomorrow.
