Which reminds me: Karttunen's book says that the name Acapulco / Acapo:lco
means "at the big useless reeds". Before the original native settlement was
obliterated by holiday resort buildings, what did the name refer to? Was the
natives' fishing boat harbor choked with Californian Giant Kelp, or what?
