Mexico is such a great country with so many great people it is hard to read articles like this. It is about an infamous narco-trafficker who got arrested, not after a long and arduous effort by law enforcement agents to find a bad guy, but because it finally became politically expedient. If it really is true, taking the guy off the street probably does nothing with respect to putting a dent in the drug traffic. It all makes me believe maybe the previous Mexican was a pretty good guy, trying to do the right thing and getting hard push-back from the bad guys. Meanwhile, lots of our friends and family down in Mexico suffer as a result. Everyone is touched by it. Mexico is a beautiful and prosperous place, full of opportunity, with lots of good and friendly people. It could be so much more than the level of corruption currently allows.

I am hoping and praying that Mexico is safe…especially this week. Emma is in Cancun for a 6 day “vacation” before 36 months of grad school begins. She says it is beautiful.
Ruthie,
We were down to Mexico (Monterrey) very recently and have family living in Cancun. I think it is very safe right now, particularly in the tourist areas. We would have no qualms about going down right now at all.
