This makes me so sad for Mexico. The whole country and economy is suffering because of evil greedy people in certain areas. All my experience with people in Mexico has been the nicest, most polite, caring people. My father lives in Guadalajara and he thinks the media in the US plays up what has happened. Of course, horrible things HAVE happened, but those things happen everywhere. Living in Houston, I feel I am closer to the danger (the border, and all of the trafficking that I am sure goes through here) here than in Puerto Vallarta, all the way on the West Coast. We were in PV the other summer, stayed in a condo in El Centro, and felt very safe. Everyone should just be cautious as they would be on any vacation in a foreign country.
