Mexican sunrise
Port arrival: Acapulco
Reserved parking: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Getting ready to watch “Cliff Divers” made famous many years ago in USA by “Wide World of Sports” (ABC)
Swan dive
Divers may start at nine years old. Fifty-four year-old just retired. This sport may be multi-generational. It's a way to earn a living.
Team diving
Reaching the highest dive point requires climbing barefoot on slippery (and jagged) rocks
The depth is 12-15 feet depending on tides. Divers carefully plan their approach. Injuries are possible if divers miscalculate.
Diver does a flip
Lucky opportunity. Entertainment near diving area
Tacos, rice and beans and maybe an egg is an inexpensive breakfast
As in most cities, there are the poorer areas. Many people buy food from street vendors
Plenty of armed soldiers roaming the city
Delivery time
Many areas need attention
We actually had a few moments to relax before the next adventure
Dinner time with Lynn and Artie
Our home for almost three weeks
Overlooking the bay and fancy homes
Poolside relaxation
We live on Banyan Drive
Local broom brigade
Longest zip-line in world. One mile long. Crosses the bay.
We did it…NOT!
Unusual building with magnificent view
Old VW “Bug” - Typical taxi
Plenty of interesting things to buy, or not…
Local fruit vendor. "Yes, we have no bananas!"
Over the years when our children were young, Jerry purchased shoes and cowboy clothes from this chain store. It’s been around for years!
Time to eat again
Western theme entertainment
