Acapulco with a dog (part II) - Pie de la Cuesta

Our hotel
   Last weekend was a long one, so we packed up Zorro in the car and headed to Acapulco. Actually, we went to a little north to Acapulco (about 20kms), to Pie de la Cuesta. This town is on a narrow land strip between the ocean and a lagoon. The place is very local, not at all developed as Acapulco - no tall buildings, no crowded beaches, just the sand, sea and sun...and birds! Pelicans, egrets, frigate birds.

  We stayed in a small pet friendly hotel - it was really pet friendly, not only "pet allowing" hotel: we got a cushion for our dog, there were bowls out in the hotel and on the beach with fresh water and the restaurant even had dog menus! Showing the good quality, there were around 10 dogs in the hotel. After the 4 hour drive Zorro was so excited about the beach and his new dog "friends" that he didn`t stop playing the rest of the day. Which resulted that he slept like a dead in the night.
Zorro in the water
   The weather in Mexico City was bad all weak - chilly, cloudy, rainy. Fortunately, although the weather was all the way like in Mexico City, the weather on the beach got nice by the evening - the clouds broke off and we could see the sunset over the ocean.
sunset with horses - could it be more romantic?
   After playing with Zorro on the beach and relaxing, the next day went for kayaking to the lagoon. (The kayak fee was also included in the hotel rate.) We had to take the car to get to the kayaks - it was about 5 minutes from our hotel. We put Zorro in the kayak and took off to the lagoon! The lagoon is huge, but we kayaked only a very small part of it. Zorro couldn`t stay put, so fell into the water 2 times, but after swimming a round came back to the boat.

   After all, we all three spent a great time in Pie de la Cuesta! The weather was beautiful, the ocean was warm, the beach was so private and Zorro had his friends...
