launch minus one


I am on my way to pick up my laundry for the tour to Copper Canyon.  The last item in my task-oriented two days before we head to northern Mexico.


There are plenty of tales about Mexican banks fouling up balances.  And I suspect I may have incorporated far too many of those concerns into my own thinking.


Last night I transferred funds from The Sates to my Mexican bank.  When I stopped by the bank this morning, I was prepared to discover the funds were not yet available.  But they were.


So, I punched out a wad of pesos from the ATM and wandered over to the tour office to pay the balance for the trip.


Once I have my laundry in hand, I will toss a couple of clothing items into my carry-on bag (as a dress rehearsal for the China trip) -- and be ready for my 3 AM call tomorrow.  To catch a bus to Guadalajara and then an air flight to El Fuerte.

At some point, I will be back with you.
