U.S. Consular Advice

I picked this up on TripAdvisor.com…a travel site:

As I’ve posted in a couple of threads, my wife and I are planning a trip to Oaxaca next week and had some concerns regarding the escalation of the protest activity. You all have been so helpful. On the advice of one responder to my posts I did contact the consular office in Oaxaca and here is the reply I received:

Sir: the teacher dispute with the state govt here is ongoing and no solution is in sight, at least not to public knowledge. you will not see the downtown of Oaxaca at its best, but I do not believe that the teachers, or the govt, represent any danger to tourists. The State Dept. information re this matter is to not participate in demonstrations and to avoid getting caught up in them, by going in an opposite direction, should you encounter one. I believe you will be safe here.
