there is absolutely NOTHING going mexco for that's worth your life...Honestly, if I had to choose, I’d rather go to Cuba than Mexico for a vacation. But the feds say Mexico is okay for tourists and Cuba isn’t? HUH????

Acapulco’s Faded Magic
By Kevin Sullivan
Washington Post Foreign Service
ACAPULCO — Time has not changed the dives.
Acapulco’s cliff divers still hurl themselves off a tiny ledge 105 feet above a narrow, churning channel of seawater just 12 feet deep. They still fly for more than three
seconds, breaking the water with clenched fists at speeds of more than 50 miles per hour.
But time has changed everything else.
From the late ‘40s through the ‘60s, Acapulco was the fountain of cool. It swung, it was hep, it was hip, it was ring-a-ding-ding. Sinatra was here, and Sammy Davis
Jr. and Errol Flynn, John Wayne, Brigitte Bardot, Sean Connery when he was licensed to kill, Tom Jones and his hips, Rocky Marciano and his fists, and don’t forget
Sal Mineo. Apollo 7 astronaut Wally Schirra came when buzz-cut astronauts were as cool as a three-olive martini and people drank Tang.
They called it the Mexican Riviera, and it was as hot as Saint-Tropez and as cool as Havana before Castro. It was elegance: Hedy Lamarr married here and Lana
Turner lived here. It even had a certain gravitas: The Nixons spent their 25th anniversary here, the Kissingers honeymooned here (Henry got a lot of work done, too),
and no-nonsense Ike came to meet the Mexican president.
The glitterati came here, to the cliffs at La Quebrada, to see divers called Monkey and Fatso and the Doctor defy death for pennies. When Acapulco was hot enough
for Jack and Jackie’s honeymoon, for one of Liz Taylor’s weddings (to Mike Todd) and for Elvis to chase Ursula Andress around in a movie called “Fun in
Acapulco,” the divers were every jet-setter’s favorite souvenir photo.
But time has dulled Acapulco’s allure,

Any comment from Neil Diamond on this development?
there is absolutely NOTHING going mexco for that's worth your life...So what's the deal? Is it harvest time? I can't imaging that the drug cartels need ransom money. They'd need slave labor to work the fields.

Yet another reason for folks from civilized countries to avoid Mexico like the plague...as if there weren’t enough reasons already.
