I've had visitors brand-new to Mexico come to me and ask me, "Say can I park my Harley in your driveway while we go down to the beach?" But on the
other hand I do not see how it is possible to "prevent" people from doing unwise acts. Like parking their ride outside a genuine cantina and then
rubbing elbows with people that can be macho, grouchy and vastly disingenuous. No stinking fooling a friend invited me to a neighborhood cantina in
Uruapan, and the first thing I saw when I passed the wooden wall blocking vision (no door), was "No Machetes! Park Your Peenche Machete With The
Cantinero Or No Service!". Tacho who is as big as a Freightliner, had to "defend me" from a torrent of insults from drunken patrons. One kicked a
plastic chair at me and my friend made him come and pick it up. Of course when i conversed with Tacho in Spanish, the bar keep came over and became
friendly and the same drunks who minutes before demanded my -----, invited me to their tables for ten thousand drinks. Me? Gone to that cantina
without Tacho? Shirley you jest!
I do know PARTS of Michoacan. But even on a local issue, I ask. Jesús my son-in-law. Dahveed you cannot go to Apatzingan (looking for strangler figs).
It is Dangerous there now for Güeros (light skinned). Turned out the LCT took over the area and the campesinos would have no part of it. The LCT are
mostly light skin Mexicanos and the indigenous can not tell the difference.
It is no joke my ride is soooooo ugly no sicario (gunman) in their right mind would set foot in it. When I joke en español (two highwaymen blocking a
rural road) "O Dios Mio Do Not Stop This Car! He Will Probably Ask Us For Gas Money" it leaves the Mexicans howling with laughter. It is true.
If I were to go to a strange country the VERY first thing I would do is read up on it, and damned well using the internet and reputable travel guides.
Then I would try and befriend a bi-lingual native or ex-pat and soak up every thing I can.
I am a compulsive "learner". Even after spending 50 years on and off in Mexico I learn every day. I am also inclined to help people whenever I can. I
love to share information. If you think i do not learn when reading these forums, you are el incorrecto señor. When I stop learning - I start dying.

Same tattoos? WTF is going on here.

Harry Devert
"La descripción del desconocido coincide, al menos en los tatuajes, con la de Harry Devert: “Complexión delgada, moreno claro, ceja poblada, nariz
recta, mide 1.70 metros de estatura, tiene dos tatuajes, uno en el brazo izquierdo parecido a un corazón y otro en la mano izquierda al parecer las
letras mayúsculas MA”.
--------------------------------------
"The description matches the unknown, at least in tattoos, with Harry Devert: "Build thin, light brown, bushy eyebrow, straight nose, is 1.70 meters
tall, has two tattoos, one on his left arm like a heart and another in the left hand apparently uppercase MA"

Dennis,
Here is the link describing David's friend following up on the Uruapan accident victim. (4th paragraph)
I also saw a live interview with the mother yesterday, with no mention of her son being found.

Dennis, The way al menos is used here, I think it means "but for the tattoos", but I could be wrong.

It actually means, "At least," although I think it may mean the same thing.
Thanks.

Google This...
Zitacuaro Michoacan Violence
Remember Uruapan? The place where LFM rolled 5 decapitated Cartel Beltran Leva sicario heads across the floor of a disco several years ago?
Friend in Zitacuaro? Another area where Jesus forbids his suegro to go?
Many larger cities in Michoacan have T-1 fiber optic service. Can't do stock trades? I get a minimum of 1.2mbs service in Zirahuen, La Mira, and 2.4
in Morelia. How much bandwidth does a person need to do stock trades.
Motorcycle? Tatoos?
Life is just chock full of coincidences...
I hope the guy made it. Whoever and whatever he is he didn't deserve to get disappeared.
