Here's the view from our hotel room in San Agustinillo. Well I actually wouldn't call it a hotel room, more like a wooden shack. But we were on the second floor. As I think I said before it was a nice relaxing town with an almost empty beach with good waves. Only one road through town and maybe 10 restaurants. From there to Puerto Escondido then to Acapulco. On the way to Acapulco we had a blow out (pictured below) and had to sit on the side of the road and wait for the next bus to pass through. Then we had to go through a military checkpoint and get searched by guys with really big guns.
Acapulco was a little different. (see below) big everything and not really that nice in my opinion. I think we might have accidentally gone to a Wal-Mart. oops. But we had ice cream and some other good foods. Still really hot and sticky though. I guess not too much to talk about here.
So we left and got right on a bus to Mexico (city). Only 5 hours and 3 bad movies later. And we got to ride the ultra-fancy Estrella de Oro (star of gold) bus line withflod down tv screens, free drinks and a velocity detector that has a really loud alarm and flashes red lights when the driver goes over the speed limit. Now we're staying in a different part of the city in an old, old building that has crooked floors. But we have a giant room with a king sized bed. and it's the cheapest place we've stayed yet. about $15 a night for the two of us. And last night we discovered the Churro restaurant which only serves churros and hot chocolate and is open 24 hours. I think I might have to go every night.
It's starting to feel like the trip is nearing its end. Which I guess is ok since I have no more money. less than 3 weeks.! That's about all I have to say except that I really like Mexico City! I'm sure Kira's blog will fill in all the details.

I'll bet it was those guys with the really big guns that forced you into that Wal-Mart. Enjoy your final days in the sun - it is cold, cold, cold here. However, don't believe those reports on national news that we have wind gusts of 100 mph and 12 inches of snow - that's a slight embellishment. But we did have a good snowfall today - of course now it's rainy and ugly but it was nice while it lasted.
I think we will need to plan a Mexican feast for all family and friends who have been loyal followers of your blogs. You can try out all of your newly learned recipes on us!
