Yesterday I did nothing but walk on the beach, swim, eat seafood, and drink cerveza and mezcal. It was great, and I can see myself spending more time there in the future, maybe taking a traditional old American style vacation there for a week once I have some more money.
The riding was easy today, and before I knew it, it was 4pm and I was nearing Acapulco. I knew it would be different than Escondido, but I didn't expect this. It is like the Las Vegas strip, but about 10 times the size. It was very hot, with slow frustrating city traffic. I now realize why I liked Puerto Escondido so much - it's the lack of Hiltons and Westins and McDonalds and Starbucks.
After riding around a while, fighting the traffic, I found a part of town where the locals go, off the main beach on the bay, with food stands instead of fancy restaurants and little tiendas instead of souvenir shops. From the looks I got from people and the general vibe, I felt out of place, but probably not as much as I would be in the other part of town. In the morning, I'm getting out of here.
