From A to Zihuatanejo

Article Abstract:

Mexico's Pacific coast which in itself is a learning experience is described and the most important word used is 'tope', Spanish for speed bumps which is popped out at every street and can be gut wrenching at the best of times. Traveling with people who know the topography and language helps in exploring tiny villages as well as the major cities but one can also encounter lizards in hats and the pie lady on the beaches.
