Filling up with water isn't an issue, we can always find somewhere for that.

We always make the effort and yes, we believe that they really appreciate it. Having said that many of the places we go, you would be hard pressed to find anyone that speaks English. We really wish our Spanish was even better but we keep working on it.<br /><br />I don't think there is anything that anyone can really do about the miscalibrated pump other than send a complaint to Pemex or to someone in the government. Whether anything would get done about it after that point will remain a mystery.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-25476766559220002752016-01-11T09:21:27.482-05:002016-01-11T09:21:27.482-05:00Yes, it seems that most days in Mexico are an adve...Yes, it seems that most days in Mexico are an adventure, and we love that! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78961009593539426062016-01-11T09:17:38.966-05:002016-01-11T09:17:38.966-05:00I guess he managed to talk to the director after w...I guess he managed to talk to the director after we left and got the OK or once the parking lot emptied out, figured that it was a Saturday night and the school won't be open the next day figured that it wouldn't effect anyone.

It is not like it would have anything to do with a product being broken or such. But what we can do is make a complaint with Pemex, like Chris had mentioned further down in the comments and even then I doubt anything will be done about it. We don't expect any money back but if we can help the next person from getting shorted then it is a step in the right direction. It is part of the price you pay when traveling in Mexico and considering this is the first time that we have noticed that it happened, I would say that is pretty good.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-36369413231877866122016-01-11T09:03:54.411-05:002016-01-11T09:03:54.411-05:00We find that most people here in Mexico are friend...We find that most people here in Mexico are friendly whether it is a small town or a large one. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87861942037179026302016-01-11T09:01:16.977-05:002016-01-11T09:01:16.977-05:00We know of a least one that has many hidden talent...We know of a least one that has many hidden talents! ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-47788614061544835162016-01-11T09:00:18.315-05:002016-01-11T09:00:18.315-05:00So glad that we are getting you even more worked u...So glad that we are getting you even more worked up for your trip.
