The Bay of Acapulco
is very beautiful and why the city is such a popular place to visit.

Fishermen selling their catch in the early morning at the beach. 
Old town Acapulco, lots of activity, colour and street cafes - a very interesting part of the city.
A view from the fort to our ship - if this had been 500 years ago, we may have been in trouble.
While on our way to Acapulco we learned that there had been some very severe violence a few days earlier with several fatalities.
It was obvious that if we did venture out and about we would need to be very cautious. We figured that early morning before few folks were up and about was the best time for getting around safely - so we were off walking just after 8:ooam. As the streets became more busy we made our way back to the centre of town where there where more people and policemen - safety in numbers is always a good strategy. After lunch Ed took a walk up the hill to the old fort and then spent an hour wandering along the tide line at the beach. We did enjoy our visit to Acapulco but it is not a great feeling to be constantly on high alert for signs of danger.
