Couple of years back I told a guy I worked with- the subject of Mexico had come up- that there are places

down there I'd love to see, but no way I'd go there right now.  His opinion being to nod and say he had family down there, but not a chance he'd visit under current conditions.

Yesterday I had the radio on, and someone said one of his daughters had called and said she was going with some friends to Mexico for spring break; he said 'The hell you are!' and when they asked why he asked if they'd seen the news lately?

...They sent their message in the form of burning cars, torched businesses, and highway blockades across at least eight Mexican states (Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Colima, Nayarit, Guerrero, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas).

One day you’re eating ceviche and guzzling tequila, the next you’re dodging roadblocks manned by heavily armed guys who really don’t like losing their boss. And hoping you or your family don’t become an “accidental” backstop for cartel bullets.

There are beautiful places down there, but no, thank you, not for the foreseeable future.
