Crazy Friend Stuck In mexico

Welcome to the next post! I was up all night writing and working on my website when I got a chat message  from a friend in Mexico through Facebook. This was an old buddy I met in Nicaragua a few years back. This guy started writing me the craziest of crazy. He said he's homeless in Tijuana Mexico, stuck without his papers and has no way to get over the boarder and  back to Canada where he was living. This guy is from Nicaragua, but was married to his Canadian girl and had dual citizenship. At the time I was talking to him,  he had just woke up from sleeping on a bench some where in Tijuana, and while he was sleeping someone stole all his shit, including his socks and shoes. Knowing this crazy dude he probably  passed out wasted and woke up clueless, with no socks and shoes. When I last left him 2 years before in Nicaragua, he was on a journey to the tip of Chile, where he had a girlfriend. Mind you this guy had no car, no job, and no money. Some how he did make it to Chile. I heard from him a few times and then he disappeared until yesterday. He also told me Mexico is a war zone right now, like he has never seen it. He said there is really bad shit going on all over the place. I know this dude pretty well and even though he's crazy I  believe what he is saying. This is coming from a local Latino, that blends in very well and even he didn't feel safe. Take it for what it's worth, just be careful while traveling south of the boarder right now. I have been through there many times, and it always went pretty smooth. Just know things are getting out of hand in some countries especially at the borders! I suggest if your crossing borders, always do it during the day and try to stick to the more common border crossings used more frequently by travelers. As for my friend , last he said was he was going to find a Coyote to get him back over the boarder. Lets wish him luck!
