First, we felt completely safe walkng around the touristy areas last week.
I did have one question, maybe someone knows the why ... on Wednesday last week, we walked from the end of our hotel, across the street in front of the supermarket, to catch the bus in front of the yellow “Mexican Market.” In that area in front of the supermarket were maybe 10 HEAVILY armed men - as in huge rifles out, and protective gear on. They were kind of standing around, I said “good morning” to one of them as we walked by, no smile, just a nod. My son was thrilled to see the rifles out, but I’m curious why so much for a 10am on a Wednesday.
Someone back home suggested maybe the supermarket was receiving a cash delivery or something and that type of artillery is needed to protect it.
They were gone by 1 when we returned.
