Certified STUPIDITY!

Wow, that tirade was certifiably terrific.
I'm almost embarrassed to report that our daughter and her girlfriend have booked into an all-inclusive at the Park Royal for two weeks in February. Neither have had any exposure to Mexico, other than our daughter having spent an afternoon on Calle Revolucion in Tijuana 30 years ago. She especially loved having her photo taken riding a burro painted in black and white stripes to look like a zebra. Ah, Tijuana! My first exposure to Mexico as well, and I loved every minute of it....the heat, the squalor, the smells, (both pleasant and putrid), the colours, the noise. In short, the place was ALIVE.

A question for those with Ixtapa knowledge: those huge discos - Bogarts and Cristine - are they dinner clubs or just extremely loud and over-priced drinking spots? Is there a cover? Suitable for a couple of not-so-naïve 40 year olds?

(Yes, of course, we'll be dragging them away from the smorgasbords as often as we can, to show them the Zihua-area spots we love.)
