CICO TRIP
Sunny Days, Cool Evenings
Mexico, a land of warm, sunny days and cool evenings, still offers more to the American traveler than almost any country in the world: magnificent landscapes, excellent accommodations, a virtual springtime climate, and an endless variety of things to do and see.
Each person finds his own favorite "preferences" in Mexico. Perhaps the leisurely pace, cafes on the square, and delicious dinners served late in the evening. A woman may remember the flower stalls of Mexico City, the open-air markets, the ancient churches, and shops selling handwrought silver, leather, or fine perfume.
Others will seek the excitement of bullfights, jai alai, and fiestas. Or they may dream of a hammock on a white beach at fabulous Acapulco, with a beach-boy to wait on them and a view of bathers, sailboats, and the indigo Pacific, while the sun turns their complexion to Acapulco-gold.
