Hola Amigos y Amigas,
Well I’m now on my trip and wanted to give a somewhat real time trip report but with only having my phone and the spotty internet it is next to
impossible .
I’ll do a few posts here and there when I can. Back to the topic now,
A week ago last Sunday while going through the toll area between Tijuana and Ensenada I get to the first toll and there aren’t any people manning
the booths but there are civilians all around waving Mexican flags and and making a presence of them self’s . There’s also a woman with a bucket
collecting , what I was told , was “donations” ???
I went ahead and put the Pesos (36) that I had ready into the bucket and drove on with a feeling , at first, that I did a good thing and the money was
going directly to “the people” rather than the corrupt Gov.
Between the first tool booth and second I was thinking more about “ where the money really goes ?”
Does anyone on here know or have ever asked ?
I wanted to asked but my Spanish is like a 5 year old and I’m sure the reply would be way too fast for me to understand .
By the time I reached the 2nd. toll I reduced my donation to just about 7 Pesos.
My thoughts are that it is most likely ran by the strongest gang around as there is probably a lot of money that is collected.
Anyone know just what is going on ????
The toll roads , where does all the plata go ???
