... so much on offer to do you could just not ever get bored. There is a guy in the piano lounge in the evenings and he is just the funniest cabaret act I have seen in a long long time. Word must be getting around the ship how good he is because the place is packed and they are standing around the doorways to try and glimpse the act.
Perry you are a STAR!!

Traveling 246 nautical miles northwest from Huatulco, Mexico, we come to the glitter and glamour of Acapulco, Mexico. Acapulco is known for its beauty. Its world-famous beaches offer up the sun and surf for different agendas, whether you're in the mood for exhilaration or serenity.

We chose the serenity path and spent the day at a private resort (Fairmont Pierre Marques Hotel and Resort). We could have chosen the Cliff ...

... were a total of 8 divers. In this group of divers the youngest
was 14 and the oldest was in his 50's.
Wow what a way to make a living,
Then back to the ship to cast off at 6pm.
The weather was hot and humid about 92 degrees.
A nice refreshing dip in the pool was a great way to cool off.

... br>The history of Acapulco (per the tour book), is a city of about 700,000 people. This became
a major port back in the 1500's due to the arrival of Hernan Cortez,
which at that time many treasures were shipped to Mexico City and on to Spain. After World War 2 this became a favorite

... a few feet which was just enough room for him to stop! Otherwise it would have been a sandwich between the truck and him. A KLR sandwich. Better than the old BLT! I think the extra red reflective strips I placed on the black panniers might have made the difference in him seeing me. Well worth the $20 I spent to get myself more visible. The quaint loveliness of the Mexican country side is starting to were off quickly! The smell of ...

... the waves, and the stream of water coming off the jet ski, I'm not sure it looked like all that much fun. But the guy kept doing it ... maybe it was punishment.) The surf was strong, so we decided to go up to the lower of the three pools. Also, nicer view, in the shade, from lounge chairs. We played in the pool - they had waterfalls you could swim behind, so we made the requisite "back side of water" jokes - and just watched the action in the bay. A group of roaming Mariachis, who ...

... evening we went to an outdoor bar/club called Paradise where we met up with a lot of other Semester at Sea students. Paradise is a cool bar that features 2 for 1 drinks and has a bungee jumping tower next to it. I didn't think drinking and bungee jumping should go together so I stayed away from it, but there were a few students who did and it added to the atmosphere of the bar. After Paradise a few of us went to a nightclub called Palladium. It is a very famous club that has ...

... our beach front camp albiet with a few km walk in the hot mid day sun. Back at camp we relax on the beach with Cervaza's and chat with our camp friends. Jim and Dot, next to us in a right hand drive British city bus they converted to a camper have two Yamaha enduro bikes locked up in a rear compartment, and have been travelling on a worldwide tour since 2000 and will keep on until 2007, seven years on the road in a small 30 foot camper.
