North America » Mexico » Guerrero » Acapulco June 25th 2007

ok Acapulco was absurd. I'll try to go in chronological order becuase so much happened that I can't really say it all, plus I'm not sure who all is reading this and some things are a little too crazy... We bungie jumped the first day which was a lot of fun, and a fitting way to begin Acapulco. Later that night, we went back to Paradise (the bar where we jumped) for a friend's 21st, and we bought him a jump (he wasn't with us earlier in the day).

Seth took pictures, which presumably will be posted somewhere or accesible soon? I don't know, we'll figure it out. We screwed around on the beach, went for a swim and hung out all day: Living like the locals. Today we went to the San Diego zoo with Nate and his girlfriend Tori. I'm always conflicted about zoos because even though it is fascinating and enjoyable to see all of the animals, I am filled with a sense of guilt for the animals. The snow leopard and the elephants especially seemed pitiable. Came back to the house and relaxed while the people who live ... read more


Sweet town, everyone is young and loves boarding. Interesting farmer's market with a blend of hippie artisans and tattooed surfers/skaters. Went to Hodad's, a local burger joint last night where our host's work. Delicious food. Going to the zoo today, more to come. ... read more
