Trip report October 21 - 28

Thanks for the feedback Rob. We just shop the back to school sales in the summer but it's getting harder to find the deals and they limit you to 3 items so you need to hit numerous stores. Since the airlines handle bags so gently, I will always have one on it's last leg to just leave with Lupita. I know that Lupita will do what's best so there is no chance in disappointing me, I'm just dropping off stuff, she is doing all the work. Unfortunately my Spanish sucks so Lupita got the wrong message from me. Next time I will defiantly call the store before I come by. This time the guys at the xray machine did want to see receipts for the supplies, they were dumbfounded when they saw the on sale prices from the states.

Sorry about the taxi rates but if I'm only here for 1 week I'm not going to get into it with the drivers over 50 pesos and then hear about it from the wife later. Not worth it from my side but if I lived in Zihua it would be different. I rent a car every other place in Mexico we go but then there are the guys at the gas station that will try to overcharge you, I stand my ground on that one and tip the honest ones. I'm still waiting to get pulled over on a phony charge and asked for money instead of getting a ticket in Baja. Local cops are a joke there and probably the last person you would seek out for help. Lots of military this trip which is a good sign in my opinion.
