Is Mexico Safe?

4th from the right, thanks for asking.

Sadly by the time they hit about 40 they won't look like that. I think I might put my faith in the Oreo.

Since I already went halfway down Baja, I'm starting from Tucson this time and crossing at Nogales. Heading in the general direction of Copper Canyon (anyone here going to be there in the next couple of weeks?), how does this route look from a safety and scenic and police perspective?

This is a good route to take. Cross at the Nogales Mariposa gate, not downtown. The traffic in town can be nuts. You will be on the toll road until Magdalena. Look at the hotel web site for Nogales border crossing info and the turn at Magdalena.

You have a choice to go to Moctezuma then to Son 117 south to Mex16 or go through Ures then down to Son Hwy 20 through Bacanora, Son 117 and over to Mex 16.

Be sure to stop and see us in Banamichi! Stay at the Hotel or just have a cup of coffee and we can talk routes, road conditions and what to expect. Bien Viaje!

Hi Bato, The Mexican politicians come out to inaugurate this project at least once a year. Calderon was out here inaugurating it just 6 months ago, right before the election. Now he is back to inaugurate it on more time before he leaves office! It's still not done!

I think in 2 or 3 more months?

Peña Nieto takes office tomorrow so he will make a trip to check it out.

And in other news...its Antonio's last day behind the bar on Thursday at the Rivoli. End of an era.
I shall buy him one of his favorite Long Island Iced Tea's with your regards.
The man knows his cocktails.

Give him my regards. He'll be missed.

Nice. Hey Mr. Tricepilot, how about the top ten phrases one should be able to speak in fluent Spanish?

Speaking in a representative capacity, I say that he wants the hot latina phraseology.

To start the ball rolling, I thought I would post this picture. It is a ready reference guide on how to identify the applicable calendar, and stay off the roads...



Hmmm.... well it made ME smile!

I must admit that my request was not phrased (no pun intended) very well. Since this is a thread about safety in Mexico, the context should be ten phrases to know that might help someone to stay safe while traveling in Mexico. Or ten phrases that come to mind. Or ten phrases to pick up women (without getting slapped). Or ten phrases that about motorcycles. Or ten phrases about bbq. Or ten phrases about...

Be at LLDave's annual RTE at Kreuz's in Lockhart on Saturday at 1 PM and I'll give you a one hour free primer class after the feasting is over.

Take the Rocket III. I can meet you at your house at noon if you wish & we'll ride over on the new Fastest Highway in America, Texas 130.
