I'm sorry,but please explain why we are going there again?d strokes wrote:I am going to South Padre Island for a few days this weekend, looking for pointers.
I've been several times before, but since it seems that violence is an increasing issue in the border towns.
I know that some of the population down there like to cruise the streets doing generally nothing but drinking and blaring music, I try to stay away from them.
Last time I was there, there were so many people that you couldn't even drive down the street and the bridge
As we were walking to find a restaurant, it quickly became apparent that there were waaayy to many people just standing around and looking like they were up to no good.
We even had someone follow us for a block, but when I started walking backwards to watch them (2 of them, 3 of us), they decided to back off.
I really wish I was carrying, and at that point I had only had my chl for a few months, so I didn't carry everywhere. I should have gone back to the hotel and strapped at that point.
I'm not doing that again!
EDITED TO ADD: I don't mean to sound rude or confrontational, I guess more curious why one would want to subject themselves to that on a VACATION, for goodness sake. What ever you decide I hope you have a wonderful and refreshing time...safely.
