We are now in Huatulco, Mexico. It is so much cleaner than Acapulco. This small city was built to be a resort and tourist destination. Although the coastline is mountainous, there are nine small bays with sandy beaches making this a very beautiful sun-lovers paradise. The City only began about 30 years ago and it is definitely a planned, clean, green city.
We took a sightseeing tour of the bays in a catamaran which stopped near one beach so we could take a swim. We jumped overboard and swam to shore. There was quite a strong undertow and the water temperature was only about 78 degrees. After exploring the area for a while, we swam back to the boat.
We boarded the catamaran that morning at about 8:30 AM. We were informed that they had drinks for us. The guide said they had soft drinks and beer. He said, “I know it may be too early to be drinking beer but we also have tequila.” I guess that meant it was never too early to drink a margarita, so by the time we got back on the ship at 1:30 we had had three margaritas and two beers. Bob says, “It was a great day!”
It was a very relaxing day. We looked through the market near the pier. It was very clean, and we weren’t stalked by people trying to sell us everything like we were in Acapulco. This is one Mexican town we wouldn't mind returning to!
