A Mistake Corrected

Well, we corrected our mistake, and took a bus back to Acapulco yesterday. We are staying at a "beach resort" in the faded grandeur of old Acapulco...we are right on a little beach, in a hotel that has seen better days, but is clean and has a pool, beach chairs (although the Italian Canadians who are here en masse snag most of them at sunrise) and a beautiful view.

We are among the youngest people here.....and the least tan...and I mean tan as in leather....

We walked up the hills above the hotel this morning and saw some abandoned properties and some beautiful homes, along with nice family hotels. The salt water is clean, it appears, and everyone is friendly and helpful...

We loved Taxco, but the traffic was unbearable, especially since there are no sidewalks on the narrow streets. We had the most beautiful hotel room we're seen, but the noise of Volkswagon Beetles grinding up the steep streets all night made sleep difficult. The owner of our hotel (the Mi Casita) said a number of hotels have banded together to ask the city to limit traffic in the center.

The cathedral is the most beautiful we've seen....ornate, with much sculpture...it has been partially renovated.

We will stay in Acapulco til early Friday, bus to Mexico City, visit a museum and then leave the next day for Seattle.
