Many...Sometimes ignorance is bliss when travelling. Many years ago I did a 3 week bicycle trip through what I now know is the heartland of Mexican drug cultivation. We had a great trip! However, as I gain more insight into this wonderful and complex country, I am much less inclined to go exploring off the beaten path. Mexico provides a safe destination for millions of tourists every year and the various levels of government are working hard to ensure that this continues. At the same time, there are locations in Mexico, often remote towns and villages, that are pretty much governed by the cartels and their brutal narco system of street justice. So, we will continue to visit Mexico and appreciate all of its culture and charm. But no more bicycle trips through unknown territory!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870735448402969291noreply@blogger.com
