My parents honeymooned in Acapulco back in the 70s. I saw plenty of pictures, and the place looked really laid back and enjoyable.
Nowadays, why anyone would vacation in Mexico is beyond me.
I used to love going to Mexico, because Mexicans are very nice and normal. They’re like small-town Americans except that they speak Spanish and it is a fun place. But I cancelled on an academic conference because of leftist union terrorism after the election of Calderon, and now I simply wouldn’t go there.
Very sad, and if our own US government weren’t such a pack of loony lefties, I’d say the US should be looking into leftist involvement in the drug business. The drug lords are into it for money, but the people who are helping them are the leftists because leftist money has always been a big funding source for Latin American drug gangs and vice versa. The US under Obama, however, steadfastly refuses to admit that the radical left (the drugs come from SA through Venezuela and Cuba) is funding the destruction of Mexico.
