Baja Revisited
So glad you had a great trip, Brandon. We too live in Baja and have been appalled at the sensationalized reporting in the media. If there is a killing, it is splashed on the front page (to sell papers!) Then a few days later, the truth will come out that the victim was involved in a drug deal gone bad, but that story is buried on the back page. The damage that has been done to the people and to the economy of Baja is sad to see. Baja is a big place and it is only in certain areas of Tijuana area that you need to be extra careful. But, even there, as you pointed out, unless you are looking for drugs or a fight... you're probably safer than many areas in the States. Using common sense goes a long way: there are places in San Diego that I would not go to after dark just as there are areas in Tijuana I wouldn't go to after dark! Hopefully, your article will help others to see beyond all the media hype and they too will discover that the Baja we all knew and loved still exists.— June 3, 2011 9:14 p.m.
