Alcapulco really isn't a bad place. It's not what it used to be, and you should always, always have a military presence with you if you wander off the main road, but it's the only place where you can stand on your head in the middle of the street. We had to wait out a pretty nasty storm there so we decided to use the docks at La Marina, for a price of course, but then there's power on the dock (read air conditioning in our aft cabin). Alcapulco rained hard, and when in rains there, every bit a trash that these folks have been saving up in their gullies, alley ways and streets flushe into the caldera-like bay. Now there is at least a 20 foot wide "bath tub ring" of plastic bottles and other assorted plastics and garbage all the way around the bay. The locals don't appear worry too much about it because they know it will flush out of the bay and into the Pacific Ocean just like a giant toilet bowl. Out of sight out of mind. I wonder if this is one of the reasons we saw so very little sea life in or around their little bay. But they do have the cutest little things living in the bushes. We left Acapulco on May 10th and arrived Zihuatanejo on May 11th, my first son's birthday, Happy Birthday Donnie! I love taking photo's after a storm. You get the most beautiful sunset shots. Peace
Peace.
