Colleges are warning students about what goes on down there now. One story that stuck in my head is a gun battle between cartel and soldiers that took place in a mall, tourists everywhere, a few miles from the SD border.
A recent investigative news show had the story of an American family kidnapped at gunpoint a few hours from the border. I could only handle watching it for 15 minutes or so, it got me so boiling mad. Calling them animals would be an insult to animals.
I went to Rosarito for the last time 3 years ago, and one of the local bartenders told us that it was dead even on New Year’s Eve.
Cancun seemed safe when I was there in ’08, but then there are all those bodies they found in caves, kinda makes you wonder…
