Well, gee, there could be a whole long list! Probably the one that could have resulted in a terrible outcome was when I was about 21 (back in the olden days) and went to Juarez with the guy who'd eventually become first husband (another mistake story). Anyway, I agreed to go with him around to some of the blue bars and out of town a ways to some other seamier places, just assuming that since I was a nice, naive girl from the US and he was a strong, athletic guy, I was safe. Actually, we had no problems and it was an enlightening evening but as I've looked back on that night, realized it would have been so very easy for me (or both of us) to disappear with no trace since we were booked into a hotel on the US side and had just crossed the border for a shopping day. Typical instance of youth seeing itself as invincible!
