Monterrey, as I remember it from the 60s, was one of the most beautiful and romantic cities ever. Surrounded by mountains and starlit skies, filled with plazas and flowers and music, just a treasure.
Now the cartels have taken over.
I have a dear friend, an older lady who’s been a citizen here for 50 years, whose family still lives in Monterrey. She can’t even go back to see them now because of the danger. So sad.
