Pineapples, Coconuts, and the Kookaburra

This past Thanksgiving, Pickles and Pineapple went on a vacation to Acapulco, Mexico. Aside from lounging around on the beach, playing in the waves, catching up on sleep, and reading non-work-related books, Pickles and Pineapple had a couple of culinary adventures.

Arguably their favorite part of resort living was happy hour. Although they had to convince the wait staff that they really weren't interested in alcoholic bevvies, the resort served some excellent drinks. Pickles loved their lime margaritas, and Pineapple craved... can you guess??!... their pinas coladas. That's definitely on the top of her most-missed list.

Pineapple's birthday also happened during that week of unadulterated rest and relaxation. In celebration, she, Pickles, and her family went to the Kookaburra, a restaurant that looks out over Acapulco Bay and that serves some of the best cuisine in Acapulco. The restaurant is named for the live kookaburra birds, imported from Australia, that live in the main room of the establishment. And, the food and desserts are to-die-for!

So, if any of you happen to be in Acapulco and want an excellent, unique eating experience with fabulous wait staff and incredible ambiance, the Kookaburra is a must-try!
