Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will. Yes, the media is quick to point out violence/murders, but in reality it doesn't affect my daily life at all. What's really going on has nothing to do with Americans or tourists here. It is a fight between rival drug gangs (and the local police being targeted as well) due to two aspects - the capture of El Chapo and an election that got rid of the state governor (that was corrupt from what I hear). So, there is a power struggle going on. Once there is a "winner" it will quiet down. The locals and government (and cartels) know that the economy here (for everyone) is dependent on tourists.
