I was so exasperated that I did not retry.<br /><br />Hope to get something written this evening or tomorrow, for sure!

He is walking, yes, walking, around the world and says that most people he's encountered are actually pretty nice.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/opinion/paul-salopek-the-case-for-xenophilia.htmlalcubanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667546605871850986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-72769014007877443282017-05-28T19:54:04.731-05:002017-05-28T19:54:04.731-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-87006954378152460192017-05-27T11:00:38.705-05:002017-05-27T11:00:38.705-05:00I still hope to be there in Oct., regardless.

Hopefully this new one will be good for a while. Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />Jvineyard. Yes, I read the article too. I know no details as I am in Houston. I can say that in the 17 years I've been in SMA nothing like this has ever happened before.<br />As the mayor said, it is not the norm. I presume there are drugs in SMA as American tourist ask where they can get pot and I always tell them I have no idea. We have had no "drug conflicts" in the past and hopefully won't in the future.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-34429870906583240502017-05-27T07:33:03.004-05:002017-05-27T07:33:03.004-05:00I was bothered to read in Mexico News that 4 taxi ...I was bothered to read in Mexico News that 4 taxi drivers were lured to a site outside of the city and then were shot supposedly for a dispute over drug activity. That makes me sad. I thought that area (SMA) was able to avoid the worst of the drug conflicts. What's the local view?Jvineyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896500009518689627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-10884605596972222622017-05-26T10:04:24.672-05:002017-05-26T10:04:24.672-05:00Glad you had a safe trip!

And the coverage is better since they use Telcel as the network<br />Having a 3 year old phone that they will no longer support is obscene.<br />The polite people are more prevalent anywhere but the coasts. I could not believe how rude people were during our last visit to California. Especially the younger generation the ones that video games failed to teach any manners or etiquette.<br />Too many single or working parents who don't take the time and effort to pass down social skills.<br />Another reason Mexico is good for my blood pressure and wellbeing.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.com
