Who's asking for special treatment? I just wanted to be treated like
every other tourist or person buying a meal in a resturant. I'm
polite, respectful and willing to pay cash. It was quite clear that
because you are Americans you get the special crappy service reserved
for Americans. And it's not like I snuck over the border and was
looking to take work away from any Mexican. It's not like I did not
pay port fees, immigration bribes, customs tarriffs and inflated
Gringo prices. For pleasure and spending dollars I'll go elsewhere
where there is not an attitude problem.

Joe, I've never been treated as you describe and I've been going to Mex.
for
30 years.

Well good for you Johnathan. I've been going there a long time as
well, with my first trip in 1972. Many trips in the 80's and then
worked for Pemex in the bay of De Campche for a couple years in the
early 90's. I enjoyed every trip until my last one. The food sucked,
the Marinas sucked, and the officals were a pain in the ass and failed
to provide a proper Zarpa when departing mexican waters. I put off
going to Vera Cruz because that week a drug gang cut the head off a
federal trooper and left it in his barracks. My broker was afraid we
might be mistaken for drug runners and everyone might be murdered. You
in Mexico.

Joe


I've experienced the same thing in LA...


What did you use to stick your head back on?




Monster glue of course!
