 Hola, Acapulco! |
 This mod hotel which was the bomb in the 60s has maintained it's hipness after all these years. Rooms start at $925/night. We did not stay here. |
 Paul contemplates sunny Acapulco and likes it. |
 Los Clavadistas, the cliff divers, strut their stuff at high noon. This diver landed perfectly, seconds before the wind or tide might've smashed him into the rocks. |
 A cliff diver prays for a perfect dive. Elvis did the exact thing in a campy film with Anne Margaret. Perhaps the King IS alive and living in sparkly Acapulco. |
 We couldn't get enough of this death-defying clavadistas. Here's a tandem dive that made the entire crowd gasp in awe. |
 This dive stole the show as it was from the highest point. A 10.0! |
 Paul did a double take when he saw this bar named after his childhood neighborhood back in British Columbia. |
 Acapulco Bay, teeming with activity. |
 Dot smiles coyly while imagining her dream cliff house with fresca flowing freely from a fountain and the world's curviest pool deck. |
 Acapulco Bay can also be quiet and serene. |
 Sunday is family day in all of Mexico and Acapulco is no exception. The beach was alive with vivacious family scenes, rowdy teens and romantics! |
 A day at the beach. Acapulco is a fine blend of big city, public beach scene and seaside resort. |
 Unable to afford a room at the million dollar Inn, we settled on a lush campground in the center of all the hooplah. I think Paul is teaching Bert how to parallel park in this shot. |
 The view from our campsite. Pastel pink and aqua high rise hotels, surrounded by palms and bouganvillea. What's not to smile about? |
 Here is the zocalo (town oval) where there is a big, decorated gazebo and many festive cafe's and shops. This is where the locals hang out and keep cool. |
 Paul enjoys the shade on the terrace of a zocalo cafe. |
 This Hotel is called "Hard Times. It was nestled between "Good Times" and "High Times." |
 We spent 2 nights in this totally groovy hotel in Acapulco's "old town." It had a chic, tiny swimming pool and a lobby straight out of your favorite over-the-top nautical lodge. |
 Another fine view of Acapulco Bay from the ritziest part of the city. |
 Beauty and the Beasts. |
 Exclusive, yet glamorous! |
