@Jingthing Same as some areas here, wouldn't be for me. If ever lived in USA again, MX would definitely be on my O&A map. Would love to go back to MX, expecially MX city, hang out with a family, that played host to me. Buddy lent me condo/apt for long week, and his brother & wife took us to tourist spot, pyramids & all, had nice meal at his sis's place. First time I stayed and socialized with folks that definitely weren't the haves. Ask my young guide what to bring, wine his mother likes and he sad, no. Bring ice cream, she loves it but never buys it. And don't buy too much, as we don't have frezzer. His nephew, our guide, took us all around during evening hours & bars, to keep us in right neighborhoods. Which his mother gave him an earful every night, as he was only 16, still in school. A very mature 16. That was 1990, so I was 35, and GF, 21 maybe, as she had one more year of college. Still a party animal and we loved the city and outskirts. There was still remnants of the 1985 earthquake not fixed yet. Tijuanna was a <deleted>hole, but the Yucatan area was nice, and north of was a consideration for retiring. They had a few bad storms though. Not sure what the place would be like now, but saw snaps and vids of Cozumel. Geez, what a change, as was there before they dredged out one of the coral reefs for cruise ships. There was only 1 tourist bar, 'Carlos & Charlies', the rest was sleepy little town.
