Seven women were murdered in Mexico, including one who was beheaded in the southern beach resort of Cancun, authorities reported Monday.
Four of the women were killed in Ciudad Juarez, where two were shot to death, another beaten with a baseball bat and a fourth, a school teacher, also was beaten to death.
The northern border city is at the center of a raging drug war that has claimed 2,300 lives so far this year.
In Baja California state, two women were found shot to death in Mexicali, also on the US border, the Attorney General's office said.
In the Caribbean tourist mecca of Cancun, a 19-year-old woman was found beheaded in a sports stadium.
The victim, a suspected prostitute, had a relationship with a police officer who was murdered last week, the office said.
Elsewhere, eight men were found murdered in northern Chihuahua state, five of them in Ciudad Juarez, the state attorney general's office said.
More than 14,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence since 2006, when President Felipe Calderon took office and deployed 50,000 troops to fight violence.
Maybe we should organize a road trip! You are never too old to enjoy yourself.

That would be some adventure!
Ain’t diversity grand?
Oh how awful...
Obviously, these narcotics problems in Mexico have arisen due to our stubborn refusal to grant a blanket amnesty to the lawbreaking weasels who manage to slither into the United States for the commission of crimes and to drop some more anchor babies. All future Rat voters, to be sure.
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
I won’t be heading to Mexico anytime soon even though I live less than 125 miles from the border.
Where was this? AZ or TX ??
New Mexico.
Thanks, know people that have gone to these dentists in AZ and TX. I should have realized there would also be the same type of medical practices south of the border of New Mexico also.
No Country for Old Men.
The Mexicans caught carrying all that cash to columbia were probably trying to immigrate to a country that isn’t so violent.
Thanks for noting, we were in Cancun over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful trip as usual. Of course we don’t leave the hotel zone, but just the same, it was sunny and gorgeous. Also met lots of Americans not happy with our president.
