The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

For three weeks, March 28th to April 18th, we were in Acapulco. We spent our time getting provisions and doing last-minute maintenance and repairs for the long passage to Costa Rica. Our fridge was producing ice—fantastic—and allowing us to have ice cream—ecstacy!! Meeting the crews on boats traveling south to Costa Rica was also a reason to stop in Acapulco. Another was to enjoy this iconic international city with boating friends we knew from our two years of cruising in Mexico. We took a day and watched the famous cliff divers of Acapulco. Never in a million years would I try that. Another day, we went to the Aquatic Park not far from the marina and played tourist. We went with good friends, Val and Greg off Grimsby and Lori and Bob off Endless Weekend. What a day we had.  April 1991. Lori at the top of the water slide.
April 1991. Another day we toured a small village that boasted authentic Petroglyphs. It also was a great experience. The Petroglyphs were awesome, but the lunch prepared for us by a woman in the “Petroglyph” village was even better. There were twenty of us, and that didn’t seem to phase her. Once Bijou was fully stocked and all repairs completed. Once we were toured out, we departed Acapulco for Costa Rica.  A high view of Acapulco. Bijou is anchored on the far right side of the huge bay at the top on the picture. Good Marina with a great little restaurant right across the street. Also a KFC a short walk away.
 Fabulous lunch in the nearby village Comments are closed.
