The days after the conference were over were filled with a lot of walking around exploring Acapulco. Everyone that we met was so nice and though we heeded the locals' warnings not to go out at night and basically do stupid things that would be considered stupid anywhere in the world, Acapulco's reputation of being a dangerous place seems exaggerated and undeserved.

This isn't to say that I believe that it's a safe as walking around at 1 in the morning somewhere like Cambridge, Massachusetts for example. But the way Acapulco is spoken of in Western media is absolutely ridiculous.

Personally, I can't wait to come back next year and revisit some of the spots in which we met wonderful people and reconnect with them. ♡

There was this beautiful property next to the 2nd Airbnb we stayed at in Acapulco filled with food trees and plants. We were told that the owners of the property only visit once a year and the rest of the year all of the mangoes that you see picture go to waste. The Coconuts too. The birds and the rats have good meals but it was really tragic.

Until next time. Be well ♡
