I completely understand how people could feel concerned and intimidated regarding the notion of traveling to Baja given, what we call, the mischaracterizations in the press.

It is always interesting to hear what people think about crime in our little area. As a person who lives here with the other 14,000 Americans who call this home I can assure you our chance of being involved in a violent crime is likely less than people who live in Southern California. We see the news from LA and people are murdered, mugged and carjacked every day. But I'll bet it is not part of YOUR life. I'll bet it only affects your thoughts about going to south central? We don't hang out in east TJ and fact is if you don't participate in the drug business and you don't look for trouble it won't find you. Sort of like where you live.
