My husband unerringly gets lost on journeys and we end up touring innercities. We’ve never, ever had a problem. Now, I suppose if we wandered accidentally in when there was a police shooting or something, we might have trouble. I think given that we’re NYers and always live on the edge of a ghetto, we used to it.
We were on foot in Peru heading back to the hotel and took a wrong turn and the people themselves told us to get out for our own safety.
