SWINE FLU UPDATE
There is currently less danger in Mexico than in the USA. The Mexican government has taken this threat to public health very seriously and has taken extraordinary measures to minimize the chances of contracting the H1N1 virus.
The original Mexican swine flu came from Los Angeles ,CA
DRUG WARS
Avoid the border -- San Miguel is as safe as Santa Fe, NM. Don't wear gold jewelry and don't buy drugs -- no problem -- same as in Santa Fe.
