What Is Really Happening In Mexico? Day 10 – Part 5 ACAPULCO
Hosted by Scott Sheehan Directed & Produced by Michael Corbiere Acapulco is happenin! What a fun, hustling, bustling city. It is the Grand Dame of vacation destinations. It can truly be said that as far as the sunny, escape the drudgery of winter tourism industry goes, Acapulco has been the place to be for over 60 years! Ever since the Hollywood jet-set crowned Acapulco King of the Getaway back in the 50s, it has been a tourist Mecca. And its easy to see why. There is so much to enjoy here! Today we visited hotels and hotspots that are super-hip shrines to a bygone era of Hollywood royalty. We visited the solemn and beautiful mountaintop chapel that a grief-stricken family built in memory of their tragically lost son. We watched the daring clavadistas (cliff-divers) bravely plunge into the surge 90 feet below. We ate incredibly fresh, deftly prepared seafood. And I tried my first bungee jump! It is so gratifying to visit a coastal city of one million people thats history is so fascinating. A resort town that has stood the test of time, and which seems to be entering a new era in which it will pass into that small club of places that people around the world recognize as almost mythical cosmopolitan beach destinations. Places with a vibrant city feel, coupled with all the beach and sun related fun you can handle. Rio de Janeiro, Miami, Buenos Aires and Sydney, to name a few. Pretty good company, no? Well, Im sorry to say it, but this will be my last blog entry (for now …
