SAFE, SAFE, SAFE!

Agree completely.

We just got back from a trip to the Monarch Butterfly Reserve. Stayed a night in Patzquaro, drove right through the heart of Morelia and then into the mountains of Michoacan. Got hopelessy lost trying to return through Ocampa until some friendly locals helped us out. Then back to Morelia with a night in the historical center. No problems, no threats.

A good thing that came from the (hopefully) PAST problems is that they are now closing off all the streets surrounding the Catherdral in Morelia during evenings. It is now a pedestrian only area at night. Very nice.
