Acapulco, famous for its cliff divers who jump into the pacific from 45 meter cliffs. That is ~ 135 ft! Acapulco was also the big attraction as a high society / celebrity party town, where the jet sets would mingle and have a great time. But that was from the 1920s until the 1970s. Those times are over, but it still has its charm and beauty.

We took off on our own to find the Mercado Central; we love markets, markets where the locals buy their daily goods of fruit and vegetables, but also household items, craft supplies, spices, mole pastes, piñatas, toys, clothes, stoves, cookware and – very important – life size figurines of crucified Jesus and his gang.

Then we went to the beach, which was wonderful! We ate tacos at a beach restaurant, walked along in the sand and enjoyed the water.

For our evening entertainment we chose the musical Jersey Boys. It was fantastic!!! Stage, costumes, music, fabulous singers; I had not expected such a good show at all! Standing ovations were well deserved 🤩
