I’ve lived in Mexico on and off across my career.
When weed began being legalised in the US, some thought that would be the end of cartels. Very shortsighted.

I’m very sad for my friends and colleagues in GDL- I began my career that and have a deep love for the city, its people and culture. I’m on the fence about a trip to Puebla in April but will likely give it a miss. Tragic, as it’s an amazing country with truly wonderful people
