That is crazy LL .. Its always on my mind when i travel... i never let my guard down.. and quite frankly if you visit a small pueblo say like ANSERMA and your Novia or black sheep famliy member wants to sell you out.. your done and ther is nothing you can do about it.. we are really taking risks when we travel.. and it does not matter if you have latin hertiage either.. your a Gringo all the same..

No ****, I always need a good reminding of that!!!! I vae been in some little pueblos outside of these cities and they are always so nice. Everyone is usually even more friendly than the city goers!

But like you said one rotten primo, with a connection to some group and you could be picked off like that!
