Hola from Acapulco!
We are having fun here and the internet cafe is right across from the ship, and the price is certainly better than the ship. We had fun today. Went to the old city and shopped a bit. Took a taxi for $12.00 there and $12.00 back. When we got back to the ship, we walked around the corner and a guy said - "hey I'll take you to the old city for $1.00 per person!" Oh well. That's Mexico.
We went out for lunch and had taco's and beer and huge shrimp and good guacamole and some fresh salsa to die for. The restaurant right overlooking the harbour. We had lunch with our friends from the ship, Terry and Curtis. It was lots of fun. We bought buckets of 5 Coronitas - you know Pat - the tiny ones for $4.00 and we had a few buckets and then we were in great shape to bargain with all the silver jewelry guys on the way back. It was so much fun. I remember the first time I went to Mexico, I was afraid to barter, but not any more! He kept telling me what a good deal I was getting and telling me not to tell anyone. Yah right! Oh well I ended up with bracelets on my wrists and a necklace and didn't mind paying him for the experience - it was so much fun.
Now I am ready to get on the ship and get into air conditioning again. It is so hot and sweaty here. Now another day at sea and then P.V. and finally Cabos. Won't be long til we are home.
Oh and for anybody that wanted to see Tom's battered knees, here is a good look! Poor Baby!

What a marvelous way to communicate - it's almost like I'm there with you - but I'm not! I'm here - on dry land - well not always all that dry... Sorry I missed your birthday, April, but being a neophyte, it didn't occur to me this was a two-way means of communication. Glad you had a great birthday and all of you are having such a fabulous trip. Keep those cards and letters coming - they are the highlight of my day (what does that say?) love SLC
