Villa Duo

Set aside a Saturday to catch a bus to Taxco. You will not be sorry. It is a four hour trip by bus to this picturesque mountain town. Saturdays are the market day when the downtown streets are filled with open markets sprawling all directions. Here you will find silver jewellery in all styles from really modern to ornate. This is where the retailers from all over Mexico come to buy their silver. Saturday, being market day it is busy, but the prices are fantastic! Be prepared to push if you want to get next to some of the displays, and keep close clutch of your money when in these crushed crowds. Prices were a quarter of what you paid in Acapulco. Walk up to the Zocalo and step inside the cathedral Sta Prisca. This cathedral is breathtaking!My best memory of Acapulco will be Caleta Beach. This is where the locals come to play. The water is calm and great for swimming or just floating around. My hotel was right on Caleta Beach and I grew to love my home away from home. It also helped that it was filled with fellow Canadians who knew how to have fun!
