Summer, 1949: Return to Acapulco

Anais spends the summer of 1949 floating between San Francisco with Rupert Pole and New York with her husband, with a vacation to Acapulco in between.

Since she had been in Acapulco last, there have been changes. The good changes are that a new road has replaced the dirt road, and flowers have been planted everywhere. The bad changes are that the Mexicans now bring radios to the beach and chew Chiclets while they dance.

Perpetual air of fiesta. Slackening of tension. Anais Nin will visit Acapulco again and again.
