[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 583070, member: 13542"] Just to throw my 2 cents in, I have two very good friends who've lived in San Miguel Allende, Mexico for about 25 years, it is a small town which is populated by many Americans. I've been there and it's beautiful. These folks can live there on their meager Social Security or a small pension and have full time help 7 days a week; rather then live on the fringe of poverty, they live an affluent life style. I flew into the the airport about 2 hours away and we drove through an area that was considered 'dangerous' because of 'banditos.' Once we got to San Miguel, that part was over. I grew up in New York, so I was fully aware of places like Harlem or the South Bronx, or pockets of dangerous places you wouldn't want to be hanging out in. Like Kathy, I've been in resort areas like Puerto Vallarta, Mexico which were gorgeous, we took a bus to town, (for literally 10 cents) and walked around all day, it was perfectly safe. I've driven down to Mexico from California into Tijuana, which can be pretty dicey too, but once you get through that area, into say Rosarita, things begin to shift. [/QUOTE]
