Mexico? (2-23-12)

A good friend of mine told me, "Hey do you want to go to Oaxaca with me and my family, everything will be payed for." She knows how much I love my mexican heritage and she told me she knows I'd appreciate the trip more than any of her other friends. Unfortunately, I had to respectfully decline her generous offer for a couple reasons: 1) All the turmoil in Mexico with the whole drug trafficking and cartels business has gone out of line, 2) I would have to miss a week of school and a weekend of work. I don't know which one of those reasons influenced me more to say no, but what I do know is that I'm doing the right thing by not going. Plus, I've seen way too many decapitation videos on a mexico cartel blog at this point to not be traumatized hahaha
