I was booked to fly out to Mexico last Friday for a winter/ Christmas trip around the Yucatan Peninsula. Then in the month leading up to it, started reading of all the cartel activity and shootings there- including a German and US tourist recently shot dead at a night market
So we ditched the Mexico flights, took the hit, and are now on the Costa Blanca, Spain instead. It’s a little tacky and the tacos aren’t as good, but far less chance of getting caught up in a bar where some animal shoots the place up
Yep was gonna pitch up in Tulum for while, but then a month ago a cartel opened fire there at the night market, shot a few tourists. That’s not a country I want to spend my money in right now

As they say in Mexico, so far from God, so close to the United States.

Where does fault lie? With the consumers or suppliers?

My wife and I went there in 1987. Tulum was beautiful but Cancun was like Benidorm. At least we were relatively safe but had no wish to return..

America’s War on Drugs has a lot to answer for.
No consumers, no suppliers.

Looks like Mexico has been for a while rogues’ country on America’s doorstep.
