I am glad Russ is having a great time in a tourist resort in Oaxaca, I was referring to travelling, say up country to go to the City of Oaxaca - even the Federales freak on that stemwinder.
There are bad spots everywhere, including where we live. It's just that Narcos have AK47's and are crazed.
If I ever get Sanderson to agree with anything I say, I'll faint.
I lived in Mexico and travelled extensively, and it was quite something.
I am glad I didn't go through the hassle and buy and retire there.
Puerto Vallarta was the best run City I encountered.
I lived in Guerrero and left when Narcos got active.
Love Mexico, and the people. Just be careful.
Just passing on what my adopted Mexican Family tells me.
hagopian...I agree with you quite often. You must have me confused with somebody else!
Like Russ, Kat and others have said, I think if you stick to the resorts on the Caribbean, Baja, or P.V. and don't go looking for illegal activities you will be fine...But, like the CBC article and the Department of Foreign Affairs said, there are some key areas in Mexico and border areas between Mexico and the United States for all tourists to avoid because of the Narcos drug wars.
