I don't think most people are aware of the garbage that goes on down there. If it weren't for FR, I wouldn't.
I went there once and saw enough. It was dirty, you can't drink anything but bottled liquids, you have to watch what you eat, and frankly, I wasn't at all impressed with the beaches.
I went to Mazatlan, so in all fairness I'm sure there may be much nicer vacation spots in Mexico. But one thing I've heard most people say and what I experienced, is that only blocks from the resorts is poverty that makes "poverty" in this country look like the upper middle class. I'm talkin' like dozen people living in a two-room shack with dirt floors that's maybe 500 sq. ft.
When I vacation, I like to travel around the country. You just can't do that in Mexico without seriously risking your life and health. And it'd be a cold day before I'd ever want my wife out in that.
People pay for that. I just don't get it. You'd have to pay me to go there and even then, if it weren't enough, I'd say no.
