I returned last week from Mexico. It was one of the fullest, yet most relaxing weeks/getaways that I’ve had for quite awhile. And that’s due for the most part, thanks to my good friend Alan Navarro. We stayed with Alan’s father, the most friendly man, at his beautiful El Campanario. I’ll be adding a few stories to the main website, but here’s a taste of what we got up to including the amazing food, great views, an incredible wedding, wakeboarding and so much more. Thanks to everyone we meet down there and here’s to hoping we’ll be back soon!
This was the view just inland on our decent into Acapulco.
Michelada. Lime juice and beer and usually some spices.
The view from El Campanario looking south and north over Acapulco Bay.
Now this was a wedding. It started on the beach around 7pm continued through sunset. Then it was drinks, dinner and dance party. We left around 1am since we’d been out late the night before, but it’s not uncommon for the party to last into the morning when breakfast is served for those still remaining!
Some wakeboarding in the lagoon just north of Acapulco. We met Casey and she invited us to tag along to watch her warm up for a few minutes. Apparently this was her ‘warming up’. She’s in the process of setting up a wakeboarding camp and if the brief demonstration and advice she gave Alan is any indication, the camp is gonna be great.
After wakeboarding, we continued up the lagoon until we had to park the car and hop a boat to continue on. The water was beautiful and warm and the people so friendly. We stopped for lunch after awhile on a small strip of beach separating the lagoon from the open ocean. And from the simplest of kitchens and most humble cooks came the most delicious fish I’ve ever had, full stop.
