Today, we arrived in Acapulco. It’s a beautiful city and boasts a population of 1.3 million! We were on a motor tour, which was the best way to sight see. They have the same type of traffic that Italy had- no traffic control lights and everyone drives however they want. Again, they have a method to their driving madness.
Our first stop was to a turtle preserve. Bruce freed some baby turtles back into the ocean with hopes and prayers, from me, that they would survive and age. Our tour guide said that only 1 in 100 babies released into the ocean don’t survive. Horrible odds indeed. After that, we went to an open-air non-denominational chapel that has an awesome view of the city. Lastly, we saw the Acapulco cliff divers do their stunts at night. It’s a family run business that started in the 1930’s. There has never been a fatality, just some broken legs and arms. Thankfully, the divers we saw were safe.
Bruce and I returned to the ship exhausted but glad we got to experience some of Acapulco. So, we poured us some wine and watched to video and pictures that were taken. I hope you like the ones we chose for you.
Tomorrow we land in Zihuatanejo. I’ll write more when we return to the ship. Happy sailing!
