Acapulco

This weekend, we took an excursion through the school to the lovely oceans of Acapulco. We left about 7 Friday morning and arrived in Acapulco about noon! We stayed a little hotel called "Hotel Tortuga" Which means turtle for the English speakers out there!

Jenny, Jenny, Charissa and I went down to our little pool which had a swim up bar. All the other ISUers were there also! After about 2 hours there we were exhausted! We went back up to our room and took a little nap before the group headed to the cliffs to watch the Cliff Divers. It was pretty cool to watch that! There were about 5 Mexican guys in spedos who dive off of a 50 foot cliff into the Ocean! It was neat. We were going to go out after that but we were all exhausted! So we just hung out on the deck for a while.

Saturday, we took a bus to a nice beach about a 20 minute drive from the hotel. There wehad tuns of fun playing in the Ocean! We got to boogie board, swim, and just have fun relaxing! After that we headed back to the hotel for ANOTHER nap! We all got dolled up and went out to eat at Applebees--The most American food we have eaten since weve been here! After that, we went to the clubs in Acapulco--It was quite interesting! I have learned the importance of ignoring men in Mexico when you are tall and blonde..they dont see them very often! I will not miss that when I get back to the states! I learned how to dance Marengue and experience that part of Mexicos culture! Also that staying out to 5 oclock is how they party in Mexico....I am not a big fan of that since I was tired at about 11...

I had a great time in Acapulco and feel sooo blessed to be able to travel here!!! Check back for more!!
