Unwelcome in other countries, Americans are fleeing lockdowns and flocking to Mexico

LOS CABOS, Mexico — The pandemic was raging, but on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas it felt like spring break.

Tipsy young Americans in bikinis and swim trunks vied for buckets of beer in a push-up competition at a crowded bar. Vendors in wide-brimmed hats plodded through the sand, offering rugs, massages and — under their breath — cocaine.

Down near the water, 24-year-old Kierston Jackson sat entwined with her boyfriend, their matching blue surgical masks a small concession to the coronavirus.

“It’s a good change of pace,” said Jackson, a Houston resident, as she gazed at the gently lapping waves. “I’d definitely prefer to be here with a mask on than in my home without one.”
