Demonstrations and riots beget violence. The images of the teacher and student revolts are not much different than the images of Islamic demonstrations. Or even the Arab Spring. As for comparing Mexico to Detroit or Chicago: How many RV'rs have Detroit as a destination? Would you have camped in Detroit during the riots in the 60's? Or would you have camped in LA during the Watts riots? Of course much of Mexico is as safe as anywhere else but it seems like there are more off limit areas than in other years. Patzcuaro and Oaxaca are our 2 favorite places. I would not travel to either today! San Carlos, Penasco and Kino are places where nothing is happening. Maz seems to be not much different than other years. I would not travel through Guerrero!
