ReplyDeleteThank you Chivas for this great news item. From reading Borderland and how you have expressed your feelings on this area has opened up my eyes as a American citizen to this particular region. All we have ever really been exposed to is the border areas and what the news over here reports which is not too much. By following your reports as a American woman I decided last year to cancel my living plans in San Luis Potosi and Tepic. If I listened to travel agents and major news outlets, they try to whitewash what is really happening, the advice they give is don't go out at night, don't leave resorts, so and so on, what is the point of that? I want to be free to go wherever and that is not possible in Mexico right now. Thanks again. You are my go to person
