We are 3 girls, 3 guys, decided to fully enjoy this beautiful night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpc--darklup-element\"><span class=\"wpc--darklup-element darklup--text\">But here it is, the beach belongs to Jos\u00e9, \u2018\u2019he tells us\u2019\u2019, and we have to pay him if we want to stay. Obviously drunk, Jos\u00e9 is small, fat, has a bad mustache and a tuft of curly hair. He wears dirty and perforated jeans that reveals his bare and mucky feet, an oversized, dusty and very cramped tank top, whose original white color has turned grey brown with time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpc--darklup-element\"><span class=\"wpc--darklup-element darklup--text\">\u201cLa plata o el plomo\u201d. Like a soldier of the Medellin cartel, Jos\u00e9 calmly explains to us that he will kill us if we refuse to pay him, while at the same time revealing the gun he hides under his jeans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpc--darklup-element\"><span class=\"wpc--darklup-element darklup--text\">Fortunately, Christian, a Franco-Mexican who is part of the group, perceives perfectly well the threatening gibberish that Jos\u00e9 tries somehow to make us understand. Fortunately also, Christian spent a weekend in Acapulco three weeks earlier and fortunately still, he had decided to rent a jet ski there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpc--darklup-element\"><span class=\"wpc--darklup-element darklup--text\">I say fortunately because Christian recognized in Jos\u00e9 the guy who had rented it to him 3 weeks earlier. You got it right! Our friend rents jet skis to tourists during the day and robs them at night!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpc--darklup-element\"><span class=\"wpc--darklup-element darklup--text\">While facing Jos\u00e9 in a state of inebriation, Christian has a \u200b\u200bgenius idea. He offers him to put his gun down and join us to share the booze. Good deal, right?!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpc--darklup-element\"><span class=\"wpc--darklup-element darklup--text\">Believe it or not, it is probably what Jose judged since he accepted the offer!!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wpuf_customs\">\n    <div class=\"google-map\" style=\"margin: 10px 0; height: 250px; width: 450px;\" id=\"wpuf-map-locate_your_story1497\"><\/div>\n\n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        jQuery(function($){\n            var curpoint = new google.maps.LatLng(16.8602855, -99.8824859);\n\n            var gmap = new google.maps.Map( $('#wpuf-map-locate_your_story1497')[0], {\n                center: curpoint,\n                zoom: 12,\n                mapTypeId: window.google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP\n            });\n\n            var marker = new window.google.maps.Marker({\n                position: curpoint,\n                map: gmap,\n                draggable: true\n            });\n\n        });\n    <\/script>\n                            <div>\n                            <a class=\"btn btn-brand btn-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/?api=1&amp;destination=16.8602855,-99.8824859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external\">Directions \u00bb<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The night is sweet in Acapulco.
