Recently, Jennifer and I were planning a trip to visit the town we used to live in and take some friends with us to show them around. The trip was in its tentative planning stage just between Jennifer and myself. The very next day, I receive an email from the State department which included the following region-specific information, naming the very town in which we lived and worked for six years. I've highlighted it below and provided a link to a previous post<-Click here! in which I referenced that beautiful, little town. Needless to say, our little trip is canceled and my heart is heavy for all my friends there.

Jalisco:Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Lake Chapala are major cities/travel destinations in Jalisco-Exercise caution throughout the state, particularly in rural areas and when using secondary highways. Defer non-essential travel to areas of the state that border the states of Michoacán and Zacatecas. The security situation along the Michoacán and Zacatecas borders continues to be unstable. U.S. government personnel are authorized to use Federal toll road 15D for travel to Mexico City; however, they may not stop in the town of La Barca or Ocotlán for any reason. Use of Highway 80 between Cocula and La Huerta is prohibited for personal travel by U.S. government personnel. U.S. government personnel are prohibited from personal travel to areas of Jalisco that border Zacatecas, and are prohibited from intercity travel at night.
