Acapulco

Today was Acapulco.
We took a tour in a small tour bus.
He drove us through a down town market. 
I didn't take pictures as we drove, but it was basically what you would imagine.
It's the part of Mexico that I don't like to see.
I can't imagine living in those conditions. 
 He drove us up to this high point so we could get some great pictures of the bay where our cruise ship was docked. 

 The tour included cliff diving which we were totally uninterested in seeing.
But we ended up really enjoying it.
A little bit more impressed than we expected.
They looked like boys, but I imagine they were in their mid to late 20s.
They are all very small in stature.
This is vantage point.
 Here is Fred hanging out.
 The divers actually have to scale the cliff to the top to dive.
 I think there were about a dozen divers.
 There were a couple teams divers who were totally in sync. It was impressive.
My camera is very lacking, but it gives you the idea.
 Here is another team.
 When the ships pull into port, the city skyline is so beautiful.
 There is a zipline across this lake area.
 The tour included what they called a botanical garden. It was kind of a joke. 
It was basically a nursery, but the plants were all lush and beautiful. 
Not any dead or dried out plants like we see back in the states in our nurseries.


 Who is this guy?
 Acapulco was a fun day. The weather was not too hot. We really lucked out on the weather.
 Fred is a master selfie photographer. 
 There was a grill and pub on board that we ate at a lot. 
We cruised on Norwegian this time. It seemed like Norwegian had more free food options on board.
This is the atrium where the Pub overlooks. This band performed a lot all week.
They were really good, but it was kind of distracting because they were not caucasian yet 
all this rock n roll, hip hop, pop and other genres were coming out - it just didn't match.
