Aduana y Senesca

Ran into two difficult bureaucrats at the airport today, 14 de Ocotbre.

The animal import gentlemen did not like the fact that my screw worm certificate had information from the week before as my first itinerary was cancelled by Alaska and there is only a 5 day window for use. My vet in Alaska briefly looked at my dog the second time and then signed the same form in blue ink but it was not good enough to please the inspector. I told him that the important pieces of information were original and not photocopy and there was nothing I could do except stay at the airport since my vet was 4000 miles away. He finally relented.

Then Aduana had at me with my plastic tote seeing a 90 day supply and more of medicines and some simple photovoltaic light bulbs I was bringing for a friend. The inspector insisted on charging me $1000 MXN on less than $300 USD in goods. I also had a several year old mi fi device I use for internet and translator device. Both of which were purchased more than 6 months ago. This is a very poor way to get introduced to Zihua.
