That's pretty much how I feel. The last time I went into Mexico was on a mission trip maybe 20 years ago, to the Cumbres Del Rubi district of Tijuana....just a dirt poor place. After arriving at our hotel room, my son and I switched on the TV (he was about 7 or 8 at the time), and it was already tuned to a porn channel. Because I was expecting anything BUT that, the incongruity was so powerful that we both actually stared at it for a few seconds before I actually figured out what it was that I was looking at! THAT is how my precious son was first exposed to pornography.....and it kills me that I had an unwitting hand in it.LDB415 wrote:I wouldn't go to Mexico if it was a free trip. There is nothing there worth the risk.
. There was no channel guide to let the viewer know what channels were what. The next day, I fell ill with the first UTI I ever had, which was accompanied by a skyrocketing fever and actually passing out for about 3 hours in the front seat of my truck at the work site our missions group was volunteering at. The sickness cut the trip short, and we drove home that night.What I don't recall was ever having to pay anyone for permission to cross the border in either direction.
