second hand information on three or four incidents relating to violence in the 5 years we were cruising in Mexico and only one involving a cruiser. We felt pretty good about that and felt we were quite safe. That's better then the Caribbean I'm thinking. During my time in St. Thomas it seemed like every other night we were hearing about some mugging. No one would ever consider getting off of Waterfront and Main Street and Back Streets were no mans land. Considering that, Mexico is about as safe as it gets.
