The License Plate

We had our first experience here with the law. Ken parked in what seemed like a normal space but apparently it was part of a handicapped space. When we came back to our car it had a ticket on the windshield. I cannot remember how long it took us to realize that our license plate was removed. I guess you don't blow off tickets in Mexico, they want their money every $2.00! That's how much it cost us to get our plate back, besides the long drive over to the municipal building to retrieve it. We were very surprised they were open on good Friday. Maybe on holiday weekends they stay open because that's when they hit all the tourist up!

Believe me, the police could certainly use the money. Their buildings are dilapidated, they are way under paid. Even a maid makes more money than the police in Mexico. It's a joke!
