We have been without internet for a couple of days - I assume that will keep happening as we sail around.  Acapulco was a lot of fun.  We left the ship around 8:30 and took a tender into shore.  Then we boarded a bus for our tour.  We went to see the cliff divers and they were great - we really enjoyed them.  Of course going into and out of the place to watch we were accosted by many many Mexicans selling everything - table cloths to necklaces to pupets to hats - you name it they were selling it.  After the cliff divers we went to a jewelry store where they offered us beer and margaritas!  Drinking Corona in a jewelry store at 10 in the morning was definitely a first!  They did have some beautiful stuff but it got to the point that I didn't want to show any interest because the sales people would pounce!  Then we toured more of Acapulco - I tell you they all drive like maniacs - you should have seen our BUS making a u-turn on the main street!  The tour ended at a beautiful hotel called the Acapulco Princess where we had more free drinks!  Then the hair raising trip back to the pier.  Acapulco Bay is beautiful and the hotel was great but neither Ginnie or I think we would want to go out and about in the city!  Here are pictures of the cliff divers and the QE2 in the harbor and the mariachi band at the Acapulco Princess.
