San Marcos

So acapulco was a huge city. i really had no idea that it was so big. when i last updated, i stopped at the edge of the city to take a break from the traffic cuz i felt like i was kinda freaking out. so the highway just ended and dumped you out onto surface streets, and all i wanted to do was get outa acapulco and back into the coutryside. i keep winding deeper and deeper into the city, crazy traffic, noise, skyscrapers. i'm looking for a sign or some street that looks like it will take me outa town, and i am at this one corner, i look over and see peter. what are the odds right? it'd be like running into someone randomly in the middle of san francisco or something. so i end up meeting up with everyone and we go out for dinner. i was so excited to speak in english that all these english words just kept running outa me and i kept giggling and drinking beer and didn't eat much of my dinner. we went out to see some clif divers, which is supposed to be a big deal in acapulco, and then today we rode out. so i'm back with the group right now. i slept on the floor of their hotel room. i didn't sleep very much though.
so today we're stopped at this little tienda drinking sodas and taking a break from the heat. this coke delivery truck stops to drop off/pick up bottles and there are two armed guards. clyde thinks this is insane and starts taking pictures. i end up talking to the one guy and he says that all these roadside stops pay in cash and that the truck carries like $100,000 pesos ($10,000 usd) so they need to armed guards. clyde wants to know if he's ever used the gun, and the guy says he used to be part of the mexican arm. then he wants the guys to take a picture of me and him together.
it was totally insane, it was taking peter for ever to take this picture! and the guy was totally groping me. what's funny though, is like in mexico, i'm a tall person. i am 5'3'', and i'm totally bigger than the guy with the gun! he's like simultaneously groping me and puting my finger on the trigger. awesome. not sure about staying with the group, but i'm gonna ride with them a little bit, might take off later. hope everyone is good!
