Ensenada to Cuetzalan, Puebla. Its seems like all of the Mexican Military is on the border. There were no Military checkpoints past Sonora. Me and my wife and two daughters had a great time. We met up with my third daughter who is studying at the University of the Americans in Puebla. For two weeks, the only other American I encountered, staggered out of a bar I was passing by and complained that he had gone into the bar sober two hours earlier and spent $28.00 dollars and here he was two hours later and still sober. He then stormed off. I never got to say anything. I did see later a few Americans in smoking cigarettes in a few of the cafes in Guanajuato. Otherwise the only other tourists were European. Spent some great time in Guadalajara. Overall, we never felt threatened or had any other problems. Cuetzalan is one of those Pueblos Magicos that is set in the Coffee Country. It's very beautiful with Caves and Waterfalls as it is very tropical. Leon, Guanajuato seemed really prosperous. Overall, I think there were more trucks on the road than cars. I think Mexico is weathering the crisis pretty well considering that the travel business has all but died. Everyone else seems like they have enough to do and are doing it.
