Let the record show that...
1. This thread has essentially remained on-purpose, and comparisons between Mexico and other places are relevant.
2. The poster from Campeche incorrectly explained the original purpose of the thread and confused reader(s) by not properly identifying Stanford University. There was no explanation for the "Hatfield" boner.
3. The introduction by CaribeGal of the State Department map was a solid contribution re the aspect of safest places in Mexico and that map can be of major assistance to Expats seeking to relocate south of the U.S. border.
4. Overall, this thread has been enlightening and lively, and -- especially with this country, Mexico -- I commend Christine and the Home Office for introducing it across the Expat.com spectrum of forums.
