2 weeks ago Wednesday morning, I took a $7 taxi ride to downtown Puerto Vallarta about 3 miles from the cruise terminal. Less than half way there, we passed by LaLeche restaurant, which is walking distance from the cruise terminal.
Earlier this week, there was a gunpoint kidnapping at LaLeche involving drug cartel associates including one of El Chappo's sons.
A week before the cruise, we watched The Infiltrator movie about drug cartel investigation, where El Chappo's character is on screen briefly. I watched the movie with Al, who remembers most of the events (Reagan freezing assets, etc) in the news when he was at Lowell HS (I was in college). I didn't remember those news events too clearly, other than some name being familiar. But he didn't recognize Bratt, an actor in the movie, who was also at Lowell around then.
