Mexico
My Wife and I have visited Mexico 6 out of the last 7 years. I would suggest Monterey it is in surounded by Mountains and far enough from the border to pass the worst of the poverty.(Border Towns)
If you speak Spanish it will help, but you can get by with out it. If this is your first trip into Mx. you will be shocked and surprised! I really love the country and the people, of course you will find scoundrels and some of the nicest people anywhere.
Weusually visit during Thanksgiving week, although I spent three weeks there a couple of summers ago, think of being in an oven and then raise the temp a few degrees.
If you get a chance try a drink called "Horchata" It is a rice water drink, it taste like rice pudding in a glass, very refreshing in the summer. I drank one every afternoon, after doing construction.
If you have any ?'s pm me.
