So since my last entry things have really Mexico-ed it up. We left Mexico City yesterday in the early afternoon. But before departing we had our first street meat... Yes thats right, I´ve lured my innocent travel companions into eating from Vendors whose idea of foodsafe means washing the disposable cutlery under cold water before re-using it.
Going through the mountains to Acapulco was worrying because we seemed to be driving straight to the rain clouds, and rewarding as Mexico City really has to be seen from the surrouding mountains to appreciate its granduer and elevations (2500 meteres over sealevel.)
I couldn´t believe I had aquised and come back to Acapulco. Colin and I had been here when were 19 and I was so over it. Damn you Disco Beach! Sure enough though we were strolling through the main strip last night and they were offering 20$ (Canadian) cover and an open bar. We ended up rocking into a live music venue ordering buckets of 5 beers for 12 each! A good pissup ensued and it was 330 by the time we were back at our hotel.
The hotel and area we are staying in is gorgeous. For 5$ each a night we have a great room with balcony, hammock, and access to a pool. Topping that off we are 100 meters from some of the nicest beach I´ve seen. Last night sitting in the pool at 330 in the morning I couldn´t help but appreciate how truly wonderful life is.
Today we were up pretty early as it 35+ C and humid as all get out. Straight to the beach we body surfed some massive waves. Getting fully and completly ragdolled. Swimming is best done when there is at least some risk for drowning anyways.
Will post more soon, and upload some pictures once I get a decent internet connection as this appears to be an exagerated dial up and the machine... yeah not so quick
