The More Things Change in Zih...

Such excellent pictures as always Rob. I particularly love the one of the sunrise and the lancha coming into shore.

I was quite disheartened to read the story of the taxis treatment of the Japanese scientists. I understand that the taxi drivers want to protect their business but they need to remember who their customers are and that they are providing a service. If they aren't careful they will turn their customers against them and open the doors to the competition like Uber and Lyft.

Gracias, Humberto. It's a daily scene that Lupita and I cherish.

Regarding the taxi drivers involved in blocking tourists, the money involved is a pittance, but their stupid actions cost us a fortune. They seem to believe that because somewhere around 3 decades ago a now deceased intimidated representative of a tour agency signed an "agreement" with them to pay them a fee whenever his drivers took tourists to the airport that they still have the right to continue applying the now moot agreement currently recognized by no federally-licensed tour guides or drivers. The law is not on their side, but corrupt local and state officials are, which is why everyone was outraged at the video showing the useless Tránsito do nothing bt follow orders from a "superior". Local citizens are calling for the taxi drivers involved to lose their taxi concessions. Only such a drastic measure will assure they stop their terrorist tactics.
