Whiter than Seattle?! (Joking) Yeah i know there's fair skinned people just about everywhere, but I think you knew what I was trying to convey... heh.

I was worried about my lack of accent, and my Spanish is limited. Mostly learned at work. Rental car might be obvious (it is to me). And renting an air BnB right on the beach. Seems about as touristy as it gets.

The only other time I left the contiguous United States someone tried to pickpocket me on the first day, I was on a sort of "doctors without borders" trip with a group in Peru though so it was sort of hard to fit in...

So my experience (or lack of) combined with the review saying they got robbed at the BnB, and reading a few articles about people getting robbed got my hair to stand.... But I decided I don't care and I feel like we can fit in just enough... booked the air BnB and I'm looking forward to the trip...

Thanks for your response.
