Acapulco

Las Brisas is an old fort above Acapulco bay that has been turned into a 5-star resort. The old walls and cannons are the only testament to its history, as now the place is covered with pink and white casitas (little houses) that you are driven to in pink and white Jeeps driven by pink and white dressed people.

We picked this place for the private pool that each suite has. In addition to your pool, guests also have access to the private beach club with a restaurant, large chlorine pool, and saltwater pool that connects to the bay. The girls enjoyed snorkling around and seeing the assortment of fish here.



Our first night we came back from dinner to find a little milk snake and our first ever tarantula on the path to our house.

Because of the violence (i.e. killings) that Acapulco has suffered from recently, we were expressly banned from going into the city (as in, Raul would be fired). So after being a bit stir crazy, we took a boat tour around the bay. Around the boat swam hordes of boys calling for people to throw in coins, and they would swim to the bottom and retrieve them.
