agree  Sue Horn: I agree, and I know that spelling of Acapulco is a typo. Marian, wouldn't "like a flower" sound better in English? Kind of like "la mujer" is often translated "women" or "a woman" depending on the context. Just a thought, since we have no context here.

  -> Yes, like a flower might sound better in many contexts.
agree  Robert INGLEDEW: I also agree with Kim, Rick and Renata. Just to confirm: alcapulco: zero hits, Acapulco: 57 hits. Acapulco is the largest seaside resort in Mexico, although Cancun is far better.
