Do you think that area is OK now too?
Jeez ! I hope so, as we just arrived back in Patzcuaro with a new truck and hope to make our way out of here intact. We came in via Morelia from Guad in order to stick to well-travelled roads. No problems at all, but we're not taking the truck out of the park to go shopping - it'll be collectivos or taxis now until the trailer is hooked up and we become (we hope !) less attractive to thieves. We were just in the wrong place, wrong time, so we're trying to learn from it and can't really fault Mexico overall for the bad luck, as it could have happened just about anywhere. We're in the midst of a Happy Hour to celebrate, so I should finish this while I'm still coherent ! RYV
