Back to reality

Wow! After a great party/beach weekend in Acapulco, I'm back to reality at ITAM, Mexico City.

Acapulco:

Friday morning we gathered, 12 girls from all over the world and 3 Mexican guys, guides and driver, to head to Acapulco, about a 5 hour drive. Went in a too small van, for 15 people, and the trip was not so pleasant, though, as soon as we arrived, we completely forgot about that. Our apartment was great, a stunning view, swimming pools, palm trees, mango trees, coconuts, and warm weather - Paradise.

We were welcomed with a cold Corona and a dive. We stayed at the pool for the whole afternoon and then went out for some dinner at "Tacos & Beer", and for a dance at one of the many beach bars located on Acapulco's main avenue. Acapulco is like the "Lloret del Mar" of Latin America and so it's quite touristic and the Americans go there for Spring Break to get drunk. The party was quite fun even though I'm not so fond of commercial house. Our private driver brought us home safely and we went for a rest.

The next morning we were woken up for breakfast: scrambled eggs, papaya, mango and melon with sea view, "me gusta"! Then we left to go to the beach, we went to Princess Beach, which is very nice. First time I swam in the warm and wavy Pacific Ocean :) The sand was kind of dark but there were many palm trees, it was very tropical. Though, we could not rest for a minute, there were ladies offering massages, bracelets and other handcraft and even horse rides. So, me and Julia went for a ride along the beach. The Mexican horses are very small and skinny, though not too thin. It was nice, very calm and the special Mexican saddles are so comfy that is was no problem riding a horse in my summer dress! haha After the beach we went home for some lunch (5pm = hungry!) and our cooks had prepared some "pescado empanizado", delicious. Before leaving for dinner and party we had a nap and went to see the "clavadistas". They are guys who jump of the cliffs as a spectacular show. It was fun to see, it was already dark, which gave a nice effect, besides, it was raining (warm rain). Then it was finally time for "Paladium" which is one of the most known discos of Latin America. Well, it was impressive, life acts, panoramic view of the whole bay, open bar for 20euros and great music. Hence, we danced a lot and had a great time :) The next day everybody was hangover and after the yummy breakfast we headed back to the Capital.

Now I'm in the computer room of ITAM, but I gotta go coz I'm having Spanish class at 15.30.

Anyway, this week is quite heavy; I've got an oral presentation about "Why not invest in Mexico", 2 quizzes and a lot of readings to do.

So, I'm off. Hasta luego!

PS. many more pics on FB, also of the "Arctic Bar".
