Gringo Burning in the South American Sun

In an attempt to return to the states tan (the return info will be in the next few days on here), I have hit the beach here in Vina.  The other day though I will admit to turning a nice state of painless red for a day or so afterward.

Being as how it is the Pacific Ocean down here the water is not something you want to stay in for a very long time unless you are strapped to a surfboards so I just get in to cool off a bit and then back to the beach.  Maybe next time I will roll over instead of napping on my back.  One side tan.... the other side white.

Gone to Wales.... for the bank holiday

In my constant pursuit of new countries I found myself in Wales for the long weekend here in England.

I passed through Swansea and spent most of my time in the town of Mumbles on the coast.

The pier was packed with other people on holiday

There is even a castle in town

and a great bridge separates it from the rest of Britain.
Granted I spent most of my time on this little couch with a cold one in hand for some quality relaxation.

Still in Acapulco with the Fam

Having met up with parents in Acapulco is still a shock to my system. My days have slowed down drastically from the pace of hosteling around the world. With nothing to do with my days I spend my time on the beach, at the pool, and eating anything I can get my hands on.

This is how I travel when all of us go out. 7 pack into a small car which is ironic because in the US, Mexicans travel 7 deep in the car but here it is the gringos.


Here is a shot of the Grand Mayan Resort here in Acapulco.


This is how I spend my days. The surf has been breaking funny here recently so no time attempting to surf.
