Chapter #35 cont........around the world


We could fly to Mexico and Western Air Lines whenever we wanted......for just the tax on the ticket........ because Don was a pilot for them......so off to ACAPULCO.  At this time this was THE PLACE to vacation.......all the movie stars were going there and building big beautiful homes.  We stayed in a wonderful resort on the edge of town call Las Brisas......every bungalow had their own swimming pool, everything was pink and they delivered a continental breakfast to your front door every morning......and our terrace over looked the bay and the town.....a real vacation.  The big tourist attraction was the brave divers who dove from the high cliffs when the tide was in.  I loved it.  The shopping was fun and I loved the haggling.  We went to a fun club on the beach under the President Hotel with our friends the Holgreens and watched four Indians wind down by one foot from  a very high pole while one sits on top playing a drum.  This was very effective at night with the lights and fancy costumes.  We had also seen  this done at the Worlds Fair in NYC.  We went back to Acapulco many times in the years to come with the children and always had a great time.
Today ......Thursday Annie brought the two big dogs over for the weekend, they are off to Bear Lake.  Sherrie ran by on her way to the airport and dropped Kennedy off for the weekend and was off to San Antonio to meet Darren for their 24th wedding anniversary......Darren was already there checking on the oil wells.  Alex and Brayden holding down the fort in Vernal.  Yesterday the girls were dealing with Don who had driven himself to the Park City Hospital the night before ..... thinking he was going to die......it is prostrate......Where is his wonderful wife??????  Oh yes in LA.....her 101 year old mommie needed her...... she was seeing mice on the wall!  Don turned 85 last Saturday.
