Acapulo


The first stop on our cruise was Acapulco. We did a historical tour with Alejandro as our guide. the first stop was the old San Diego Fort. We also went to The Flamingo hotel which is where John Wayne and a few other famous people would stay. We also went to a church with an enormous cross, something like 1300 feet tall. I would have to say though, that the highlight of Acapulco would have to be the cliff divers. As the story goes, cliff diving originally came about as a way to unsnag fishing lines. The higher up they were (about 150 feet) the deeper they could go to get to the lines.


















Carter was such a trooper as we had absolutely no way of keeping a schedule. He isn't usually much of a snuggler, (too much to see) so when he snuggled up to Grandpa we knew he was tired. After a nap and some lunch he's a whole new baby!



We were in Acapulco until about midnight, so after dinner we got back off the ship to walk through the square and do some shopping.
