[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got back from 4 days in Tulum last night. We had a wonderful time and felt generally very safe. [b]We saw police with large machine guns (outside the bank and also in trucks) but you see that in a lot of countries and I think we're fast approaching having that in the US. [/b]

We were talking about how unfortunate it is that Mexico has enough crime to give it a bad rap. The culture was amazing... we loved seeing the ruins (Coba and Tulum), swimming in Cenotes, and floating down a natural lazy river in Muyil. The people were wonderful and kind.

I would have thought an AI in PDC would be safer than an Air BNB in Tulum but I guess there's more to it. It sucks that this will scare off more tourists because everyone we talked to (Mexicans and ex-pats) had so much pride and love for Mexico. [/quote]

Yeah, no, we’re not fast approaching having Police with machine guns at the ready everywhere here. In Mexico they are also in the airports and other places. It’s no comfort - watch yourself on any tours or field trips. We were repeatedly bribed and threatened on bus tours in Mexico by aggressive tour guides.[/quote]
