Acapulco, Mexico


Both headlands of expansive Acapulco Bay in the distance - a segment of the golden sand beach in the foreground.

Local fishing boats resting on the beach .....

..... and fishing nets after the early morning catch.

Original VW Beetles are alive and well in Acapulco serving as a fleet of budget taxis.

Very local buses complete with loud music and doors left open - taken to smaller areas outside the main town - provide plenty of culture and cost only 6 Pesos.

Local shops are frequented for water, fruit and snacks.

Corona with fresh lime - enjoyed just like at home.

Hand embroidered top from a local crafts market.

Rugged Pacific coastline north of Acapulco.
