Monterrey Breaking (Good?) News
Searching "Nuevo Leon COVID Restricciones" on Google, I discovered the following article, which appears to have been published early this (Thursday) afternoon:

Bottom line is, from November 9 through 20, it appears that Monterrey will maintain status quo and allow businesses to remain open with 30 percent capacity (in other words, no widespread lockdown). If this is the case, then I will take my upcoming trip to Monterrey. I'll still be closely watching what the "COVID stoplight" will be for Nuevo Leon when it is updated this coming Friday.
I'll let you guys read the articles I posted and see if you come up with a different interpretation.

At this point, I have every intention of taking my trip to Monterrey. I leave in a few days, so I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for any last minute posts. Thanks to everyone who have regularly injected fresh information here. Look for my trip report around Thanksgiving, give or take a couple of days either side.
Mexico vs. Rio de Janeiro
Got to agree with Drama on this one.
Rio is a filthy city, ridden with crimes, garbage everywhere; the bay is severely polluted with sewage, smells like fresh feces all the way on top of Sugar Loaf. Many homeless families with kids sleeping on Copacobana's sidewalks in the pouring rain. The people are rough, hardened, uncaring. The biggest draw then was Help disco with hundreds girls every night, but was shutdown long ago. Now there are only a few pick up bars scattered all over the city. Overall girls in Mexico are better-looking, nice, clean, healthy, happy.
There were a couple dozen girls, including tall trannies, aggressive selling sex on Blvd Atlantica, but it was hard to find good -looking girls. I picked up a pretty hot girl from Barabrella, took her back to my apartment. She looked pretty good but the sex was pure commercial, no expressions, feelings, fun or joy. At the end she tried to extort me for more money, yelling, screaming. I had to push her out of the door and called security to evict her. She was screaming her head off down on the street, threatened to call policia hehe. The people are rough and mean everywhere.
I did pop a tall, very beautiful blonde with buttery-soft light skin in a thermae. She was just about a perfect female specimen. We were having sex in a tiny room, more like a box, including my first anal experience, nothing special. I did not like to sit around in a small, humid room, under bright flat lights with half dozen girls and a dozen naked old guys with just towels around their hips. Brazilians and Portuguese are very rough and direct, no nonsense peoples, no such thing as a romance with them.
Met an American porn producer who promised to set me up with all Victoria Secrets lingerie models he worked with. Also met a bro from Washington DC with lots of experiences in Rio. He was a real nice and helpful guy with relatives in Rio, a real gentleman and a perfect bro to know on the road. He said he was working for the Federal government. He took time to show me around and coached them how to stay safe and alive in Rio. If a Rio veteran is that scared of everything in Rio then the noobs should be scared shitless and best stay the fuck away from Rio. Will try to find this bro again, hopefully show him the good selection of hot girls in Tijuana now that Rio is shut down for travelers.
I had a very good time vacationing in Foz do Iquacu, a nice, clean, green tropical paradise with lots of hot girls, locals and tourists, recommended.
