Mexico Travel Advisory (state.gov)

 

Apparently the only concerns for the DO NOT TRAVEL advisories are crime and kidnapping.

I will trade you Phila for NYC any day.   Felt safe in NYC except did not like smelling all the legal pot folks were smoking around Times Square

 That’s actually pee 😉

The violence in Mexico is not localized.  It is rampant along the entire border with the US and effects many towns both coastal and inland.  Most tourist areas are heavily policed, but don't stray far if you want to be safer.

From Ciudad Juarez (El Paso) to Acapulco and in between lots of problems

It sounds like we’ll be lucky to make it back? Fingers crossed!!

I too have not been offered drugs or sex in any of the Mex Riv ports (including Sea of Cortez).   And I've been many times.  I guess I am also an old fart in the eyes of the street vendors!  But since all the pharmacies offer *****, well, my being old should not be a deterrent!! 

 

It’s why we’re planning a trip to Amsterdam next year. Support small businesses!
