ain’t nothin in mexco worth yer life...
The danger is well known and nothing new. Acapulco is no-go and people still go to Cabo and Cancun. No sympathy now.
“ ain’t nothin in mexco worth yer life..”
Just 40 years ago, it was a poor, but pretty pleasant place to go. Even 25 years ago, the violence was pretty much limited to gangsters, and the Federales and Army kept the civilians safe.
Now, it’s near the bottom of the list.
In 2010 I stayed in a mid level Mexican hotel. As the bellboy took my tip, he looked me right in the eyes and said, carefully enunciated, “I can get you anything you like. You understand?” Yes, I understood. If I wanted sex with a dog and a peanut butter pina-colada he’d find what I needed. I obviously didn’t give him the expected response so as he left the room, he turned and said again, “Anything. Just ask.”
I come across as a total square.
Guess it’s not safe to go to Acuña anymore to see the Mexican Blackbird......
“Oh, let’s drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy.”
