Not into placement

Since I did not want to look up all the big words you used. I will just say that Julio and his family were doing no differently than they do at Las Gatas or La Barra at the beach. I did not "place" them anywhere and I was not observing them. I was having a massage. They were just having fun at the beach like they do here. How can one Mexican tell the difference in another other than the comments about Chilangos occassionally that I hear.?

The government has very definitely allowed too many taxi's. Another taxi story for you. Second time in three weeks I have used a taxi was Saturday night when we were invited to a party and since I was going to have a drink or two I did not want to drive.

I had to walk down to almost the end of La Concha to find a cab that was not UTAAZ. When I asked him how much to where I wanted to go and he told me, another cab driver came up and told me I would have to go with him as he was next in line. I looked at his cab and said "no, I am not going with a UTAAZ cab". Another guy said why and I told him I was not going with a cab company that blockaided tourists who had the right to pick whatever transportation they wanted to take. He looked confused. I told the guy I asked the price from to "let's go" and away we went. I talked to him a bit on the way to our destination and he actually loved listening to me tell them I would not go with them. He also said I was not the first. He said that the last person who took a cab from there told them all the same thing and would not go with UTAAZ.

I NEVER GIVE A TIP to a cab driver and I told this guy that as I gave him more than he had asked for. He looked at it and laughed and said he liked me. My husband just thinks I am a little on the nutz side.
