I'm in full agreement with beddows1 !
Unless you have actually RV'd in Mexico You Don't know what the Real Situation is in Mexico.
Yes there are some problems with Drug Dealers and Low Lifes in Mexico ,as there is in Every Country in the World.Fortunately there is little reason for these Creeps to want to cause Us much concern.
They are doing a pretty good job of Killing Each Other Off. Much the same situation as a recent incident in Kelowna BC Canada.
The real appeal for Us , apart from the Beautiful Scenery,Increadible Beaches and Magnificent Historic Buildings are the Genuine ,Friendly and Loving People who We have Met while travelling throughout the Country.
The Family Values exhibited by these Folks and the care given to the Children and Respect shown to the Elders is something that I'm sad to say is no longer evident in Canada or The USA.
Life in Mexico Today is very much like when I was Child growing up in the 50's and Early 60's here in Canada.
There are some differences for sure, Every Mexican seems to have a Cel Phone ,these Days and there are University Campuses in Every City attended by Thousands of Cheerful and Bright Young People.
We have never encountered any threatening situation or met face to face with anyone menacing in Mexico. We have always been greeted warmly and welcomed into Businesses and Homes.
People Smile and say Hello wherever We go , unlike the attitude shown in Most Canadian and American Cities where nobody looks You in the eye!
Do I Love Mexico? Yes ! I can only offer positive comments.
For those of You , with No First Hand Experience I wish You would take off the Blinders ,look beyond the end of the Block and above all Stop being so Negative . If You wish to stay Home do so that is Your Choice.
