A shore day in Acapulco found very hot, humid weather. In a plaza in old town we found this really old tree! 300 yrs old maybe said a native. | 
  
   
 We stopped in Margarita's jewelry, mainly for the air conditioning and free beer. Angie and Shu-Fong checked out the jewelry. You mean it's REALLY twenty thousand US DOLLARS? | 
  
   
 The topside swimming pool area was almost deserted as most folks were ashore at 
Acapulco | 
  
   
 Next stop was the little town of Puntarenas, Costa Rica which is visible at the end of the pier between the Norwegian Dream and the Holland America line's Zaandam. | 
  
   
 We stopped in a local cantina, ''Bun Bum's'', to try the local beer, ''Imperial'', which is very good! |

 The new and the old - internet cafe just outside the Puntarenas Cathedral | 
  
   
 Internet cafe in a tent - $1 for 30 minutes - a bargain | 
  
   
 Inside a (the?) local Puntarenas supermarket we found beer soft drinks at local prices. | 
  
   
 The girls dickered with this farmer's wife over a truckload of fruit. |
