<Interesting article by an American woman who lives and writes on the Baja,
she should know what is happening.>

What I find interesting is that anybody thinks this is new. My wife and went to Puerto Vallarta on our honeymoon in 1984-and were warned to be careful. I wouldn't hesitate to travel into Mexico, but only in a group like Frank, Ben and Hans (and the rest) are doing. By myself, or with one or two other folks in a single vehicle-no way in hell. I've also been into Mexico dozens of times to Nuevo Laredo, same thing, be on guard. BTW, it's also true-DON"T DRINK THE WATER! Don't want to tell you how I know that one.       Jeff
