Point taken. I did not think of it that way. But, I do agree that Mexico seems pretty safe to me once away from the obvious trouble spots. We never had any trouble. But, like I said, we haven't been in a few years and thought maybe something had changed.

Ergo it could be "20 sensational headlines of the worlds 1,000 most dangerous places." Which means, in fact, that no hard journalism was involved ;) Having a Mexican girlfriend and going to Mexico quite frequently I agree with the general sentiment: places that cavers go (hinterlands) or primary tourist destinations (Cancun, Acapulco) are just fine. Areas with narcotraffickers, boarder towns, and Mexico City are best avoided. Maria insists that even Chiapas is quite safe for tourists these days. The caver incidents were just during the uprising, right?

George was wondering if you think it is more dangerous in Mexico now than it was 20 years ago. We haven?t been to Mexico in a while, but we were surprised to see it on this list.
