Default What a Vacation, what a view …

This is looking out at the sunset 1400 feet above sea level (higher than Sears Tower) at one of the highest points in Acapulco, as a guest at Joe Palumbo’s 40k Square Foot home (that’s right, not 4k but 40k), “Casa Abuelo”. If you've been to Acapulco, it's above the cross on the side of the mountain.



Yea … dudes, it was a blast … and a gorgeous home. I’ve never seen anything like it before.



This is the most exclusive private Golf Course in Acapulco, “Tres Vidas”. Many balls remain somewhere on the course.



The view from a Par-3



More Pics to come ...

Nice view, I'm sure the weather was great. Been to Acapulco a few times, my new favorite place in Mexico is Ixtapa.

Nice pics man I love Mexico. There really is a lot to see, you just have to hit the right places and stay away from the cities.

Just kidding...did they let you back into PR&C yet?

I do notice you plan your bannings for vacation, seems to be a pattern.

Trust me … you DON’T want to drive in Mexico, especially your Vette.

Darn … you’ve discover my pattern.

I took a break from that winy little click they have over there.

I think I’ll go back to yanking their little stings today. It’s fun!

I drove in Mexico, no biggie.

No way in hell was I getting on the tour bus of death to go see the ruins. Wasn't too bad, went about 2 hours outside of the resort area's.

I tend to agree, if you think Chicago roads are bad actually some of the roads are okay it doesnt really matter though, if you dont own your car I dont think you can get it across the border without the title anyway.
