Mexico Edition. For Spring break, many people head out to the beach and, in Mexico, a popular destination is Acapulco. A staple in this port city is La Quebrada, where for decades a group of famous divers have been defying danger by jumping from a high cliff to treacherous waves and rocks 35 meters below. A leading diver shares his story. The host also reports about traditional dishes Mexicans eat during lent and Easter feasts.
