Acapulco
I actually found my way to our hotel in Acapulco with the help of a GPS donated by a friend of ours. He was having dinner with us Sunday just prior to the trip and sensed the anxiety of dad-the-bad concerning my actually making it safely to Acapulco without him. Good old "Garmen" not only helped us find Acapulco, but found the hotel, which was quite a task given that it was flooding because of the torrential rain, we'd never been to Acapulco, and arrived about 10:30pm searching for anout-of-the-way hotel.
Helpful hint for booking hotels online: Even if the "reviews" online are great, the fact that the hotel is only charging $45.00 (US) per night tells you alot!
The vendors had a great day at the beach. Dorothy bought seven purses!
We also enjoyed a "banana boat ride.
and the cliff divers were amazing!
They climb up this cliff (even in the rain) and dive into the water (after making the sign of the cross several times for good luck.)
We even stopped to buy roses from a sweet little family - $4.00 for 5 dozen.
Next trip was to the Anthropology museum and Teotihuacan.
This is a picture of us at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun.
Cholula
Thursday we drove to Cholula where we explored the ruins of the ancient pyramid, the huge Catholic church built atop the pyramid, and nearby Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl (volcanoes.)
We finished up with the Zocalo, Templo Mayor, Metropolitan Cathedral, and Palacio Nacional with many murals by Diego Rivera.
I had a wonderful week with great friends!

Fun!!! Can we do all that when I'm there?
I should buy 5 purses there too. Mine is starting to fall apart.
Yep. We can do anything you want!
There are way too many purses to choose from.
