I was really wondering why any American would travel in Mexico. I'll go to a border town during the day and not get past the first block but that's as far as I'll go. It's bedlam down there!
We did the annual Rosarito-Ensenada bike ride in 98, 99, and 00. Brought the kids down one year and my son who was five at the time said, "Why would ANYONE want to live in Mexico?!"
