| More comprehensive view of cliff dive area as boats and spectators gather |
|
| Another shot as I climb down the stairs for a closer view of the cliffs |
 |
| The diving supervisor (Dad?) watches as several divers climb the cliff (two are seen in this picture) |
 |
| Five
divers are here: two at the top and three on the face of the cliff. I shudder as they free climb with no safety devices. |
|
| The
first diver takes his plunge. (Couldn't get out from behind the lamp because of the crowds.) |
 |
| Two more divers on their way from even higher. Note the shadow of the left diver on the cliff. |
 |
| The final diver does a pike from the very top. |
 |
| Back at the Fairmont Pierre Marques, musicians play while we eat lunch in the Terraza Restaurant. |
 |
| Mary that evening, with our two favorite Fairmont Acapulco Princess waitresses: Maria and Gloria |
 |
| A beautiful 180-yard par 3 hole at the Marques course the next morning |
 |
| Herb Lindberg and Vickie McVey, a wonderful person (same hole) |
 |
| Back for drinks that evening: Duane Mayfield, Larry and Michelle Owen (?) |
 |
| Thatched beach umbrellas for locals, with Fairmont Princess buildings in the background. |
 |
| Expanse of beach from the Fairmont Acapulco Princess toward the hill beyond which is Port Marques |
 |
| The better restaurant at the Fairmont Acapulco Princess, viewed from the beach sand |
 |
| Mary enters the flea market on the beach at the Fairmont Acapulco Princess. |

| Prominent sign inside the flea market building (I added the circle and arrow) |
