What Do They Know?

I find it amazing that so many people think that they know the reality of the situation in Mexico.

"Oh my goodness, why would you go to Mexico?"  "Do you know that you could get killed down there?"  "I could NEVER go there, with all that is happening!"  "It is so unsafe!"  "What about the drug cartels?"

Well, I would like to let everyone know that it is still quite safe down there.  The 'unsafe' areas are all near the border of the U.S. and in the state of Sinaloa.  We do not plan on going anywhere near Sinaloa and we feel that we will be safe in the border area as long as we start out in daylight.  I am not afraid at all.  I have several American friends that still live down there and they have not encountered any problems at all.

I embrace the idea of traveling through Mexico, I have been there before and I have no doubt that our experience will be the same.  Everyone who expresses the concerns have never been there or done what we are planning on doing.  They just believe what the media has to say about it.

My life will be better for the experience.  After all, what is life worth if we do not face our fears?  Life without experience is not worth living.  I'm just saying.
