Drove with family through Nuevo Laredo to Mexico City in 1965, thence to Acapulco via Cuernavaca.
Acapulco was idyllic back then… I walked miles on the deserted beach.
Driving the roads north of Mexico City was gorgeous- jungled mountain slopes above the clouds.
But even back then in 1965…… at several points along the road- troop carriers and roadblocks and a squad of dark khaki clad, heavily armed troops heading up into the hills.
I was only 16, but I was old enough to realize there was a problem in paradise.
