Mexico Resident, you have flawless written English. Are you an American expatriate or a well-schooled Mexican?
I haven’t set foot in Mexico in 20 years; I broke the habit after gettting shaken down, along with some of my Navy shipmates, by the TJ police for cash.
Is Mexico safe for an American? Or, do I place too much weight on the word of two families that we socialize with that moved from Mexico to the U.S. because of perceived kidnapping risk?
I ask because a family that we’re good friends with continue to take their camping vacations down in Baja. We decline to participate, because I value security over scenery. Am I overreacting?
