More on safety in Mexico

April 10, 2009 | 2 Comments

I am just back from Mexico and once again, it is frustrating that there is so much stirring about the security situation there. Obviously there is an issue in the border towns and some other isolated incidents.

I certainly have an interest in keeping our Authentic Copper Canyon guests safe…it just seems that the whole country has been characterized as out of control and that is so far from true
What I have found in-country is that locals agree that things are more secure than a year ago.
Muy tranquilo…

Mexico Decapitation Tour

April 3, 2009 | 2 Comments

Hey gringos,
I spent last night in a truck stop in Culiacan, Sinaloa, home of the baddest Mexico drug cartels. I tossed a few ballenas with some camioneros there and asked ‘em if they thought I would survive the night or were they gonna lop my head off and they chuckled over that. Obviously, I survived though and I really think I’m on to something. Now I’m headed for Juarez and then I think TJ and find me a truck stop there too, sort of the Worst of Mexico Tour, get it over with once and for all. What the Hell, I figure I’ve already seen the best, now I’ll visit the rest!
I’ll attach a photo of my favorite Mexican decapitee of all times- el Indio Alonzo, notorious bandito from Colima. Alonzo was apparently double-crossed by his se~nora.
Buen viaje!

Mobile Clinic for expats, part and full time visitors to start in Sonora

April 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Hello, my name is John Diaz. I am deeply involved in the medical community here in Hermosillo.  Last year I thought of idea to have a mobile clinic here in Sonora for seaside towns to give basic medical care and testing with English speaking certified doctors from Hermosillo at no or very little cost to our part and full time visitors. Like any idea, it was just and idea. Early this year a heard about a couple that went back to Northern California because the husband wasn’t feeling too good. When they got back home they found out it was really nothing, thus ending the time that they love to spend on the sea of cortes. When I heard about this, I said to myself “ok that’s it” I must go ahead with the mobile clinic. I spoke with several specialists in Hermosillo that thought it was a great idea, and told me to continue. Which brings me to to you. I would like to know how we can take the next step and make this clinic a reality. Being in its initial stages, input from you would be great. I have a little write up on my website www.gomexicomedical.com in “giving back”. Please let me know your thoughts.
