2011 Puerto Penasco Living News - Rocky Point, Mexico - The letter to the editor reprinted below is in response to travel warnings that were issued by the U.S. Department of State in April right before the Easter holiday regarding travel to several Mexican States including the State of Sonora Mexico, home to the resort town of Puerto Penasco. I travel to Mexico 3-4 times a month. It’s a 4 hour drive from Phoenix to Rocky Point. I have never once has an issue or felt unsafe traveling to Puerto Penasco. Our whole family travels to RP. If I thought it in anyway unsafe I would never put my daughter and wife in harms way. My advice is to listen to those that actually travel, live, and work in Mexico. Pleaser read letter-to-the-editor response by Donna Whitman to the Arizona Daily Star below. Follow Puerto Penasco Joe to Mexico Kyle Wood aka Puerto Penasco Joe Letter to the Editor Response to the Arizona Daily Star SHAME ON YOU ARIZONA DAILY STAR and STATE DEPARTMENT! On Saturday, April 23, 2011, the State Department and the Arizona Daily Star had the audacity to warn citizens against traveling to Rocky Point, Mexico citing a total of 13 murders in 2009, and 7 homicides thru July 2010. Besides becoming incensed, we found your message to be so ironic considering the fact that Tucson experiences at least 13 murders a MONTH not to mention numerous home invasions. Most of these heinous crimes are due to the incessant illegal drug activity in this community. I have news for you; violence exists everywhere, not just in Mexico. Need we recall Tucson’s senseless murders in January of several innocent bystanders at a shopping center, the attempted murder of one of our own political officials or the murder this month of a 7 year-old boy that happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?? My husband and I fail to understand the Arizona Daily Star’s and State Department’s need to continually malign Mexico when our community suffers from the same malaise only to a much greater extent. Before ‘throwing stones’, let’s look in our own backyard. And your timing for printing these warnings is impeccable-always before a holiday or peak tourist season and in bold print headlines. We’ll be awaiting your next Mexico warning before Memorial Day. Donna Whitman, Retired Court Department Director Frank Valenzuela, Community Activist |
