Today was an amazing day! Acapulco far exceeded our expectations. We couldn't believe the views as we pulled into port. It is so gorgeous here...unlike anywhere else we've been. We had a great excursion today as well. We went on a tour bus to the Sea Turtle Release Camp which was actually quite a distance from the pier. This was great because it allowed us a guided tour of much of Acapulco. We made two stops for picture ops and then continued on our way. Once we arrived at the Turtle center Ethan was fussed over by some local school children. (I have the best pics of this!) They loved him! We heard a brief lecture on Sea Turtles and then continued on through the hatchery. After our small tour we walked down the sandy beach to the waters edge and were given our very own baby sea turtle to release into the ocean. It was absolutely incredible! Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Ethan was fascinated by how the small turtles moved...he loved them!
After our ride back to the pier we did a little bit of shopping and then hit up a local outdoor eatery for some local food and of course a few buckets of Coronas!
Back on the ship at around 5 we stopped by the outdoor bar at the back of the ship for some live music and drinks. The perfect place to wave goodbye to Acapulco...somewhere we definitely plan to return to.
Tomorrow it is on to Huatulco (sp). At 8:30 we are joining our excursion. It is a land and sea tour complete with a stop at a local beach! Afterward we will spend some time shopping in the Santa Cruz Marina. We are so excited to visit yet another new place.
John, Ethan, and I ate breakfast on our veranda this morning watching Acapulco come into site. All I could think was...I can't believe I'm here! John and I both agree that this trip is unlike anything we've ever done before and truly truly an unforgettable journey. More tomorrow! Love Kate

Hi Dolly, miss you all. The pictures look great. Alcapulco is one place that I have always wanted to visit. Did you get a chance to see the cliff divers? Probably not, sounds like you had a full day having "Fun in Acapulco" (Elvis movie).
Love ya all
Dad
Love the pictures! Ethan looks so happy with those big eyes and smiles! Sounds like Acapulco was wonderful- especially liked hearing about the turtles- that had to be awesome!
Miss you! Love...Gigi
Just want you to know- all is well at home! Checked everything out- not to worry!
Love-Gigi
I have had a devil of a time getting on this site. I typed a two paragraph comment at 3a.m. but couldn't get it to publish, so I'm sorry it wasn't there to greet you.
Anyway, Mexico looks beautiful, and certainly enhanced by the presence of the Reyes family. Did you take any videos of Ethan with the school kids and with the turtles? Grammy and I were just talking about how Ethan was probably just taking it all in.I can't wait to see the pictures of that. How about a photo night sometime when you return?
Took a walk tonight in beautiful 32 degree weather. Mexico looks beautiful but you can have the heat. Give Ethan a kiss for us. Miss you.
Love,
mom and dad reyes
