^True. :)>- I was mostly trying to point out that crime stats need to be looked at carefully. There’s a lot of hyperbole when it comes to crime in Mexico.
I was in Huatulco with my family during the 2006 unrest in Oaxaca City, and a number of people asked me if I feared for our safety. I had to point out that it takes as long to travel between Oaxaca and Huatulco as it does between Boston and NYC and to skip our vacation would be like canceling a trip to Boston because you heard there was gang violence in Brooklyn.
