Hopefully one day that negative image will change. We are trying our best to show people that Mexico is a great country to visit. Like any country it does have it's problems but it's not as bad as the media makes it out to be.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-21760589248722091602014-11-14T11:55:33.456-05:002014-11-14T11:55:33.456-05:00Thanks Cheapchick, we will!Thanks Cheapchick, we will!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-61217378893069894262014-11-12T14:05:14.993-05:002014-11-12T14:05:14.993-05:00Maybe Thursday we'll include some pics of wher...Maybe Thursday we'll include some pics of where we're staying right now.

There have been protests in both Mexico City and Acapulco, but I'm not sure what that will accomplish since Mexicans (teachers, taxi drivers, etc) are always protesting about something so it tends to lose effectiveness. There was a big federal police presence in Mexico City, and we saw riot gear ready to be distributed. So yes, I would say it's a big deal.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-23720978267543770182014-11-11T21:28:29.281-05:002014-11-11T21:28:29.281-05:00I bet you guys are happy to be back in Mexico... ...I bet you guys are happy to be back in Mexico... anxious to see your digs for two weeks of R&R on a beach?
