An ATM in BOLA? Someday. It becomes a prohibitive cost factor trucking in money and servicing the machines. The more remote they are, the less likely they'll be working. Recalling that Mexico was a late entrant into the private banking industry, it is actually rather remarkable at how many actual bank branches and how many ATMs are available today. Just have to wonder what logic is used for their location. I've mentioned it before, how surprised I was to find one in Vizcaino, just shortly after having waited in a very long pre-holiday line at the bank in Guerrero Negro. So, you Asuncion folks, I'm pulling for you. But, IMHO, San Ignacio will come first.

I'll weigh into this highjack...problem here is that the telegraph office runs out of cash now that everyone is paid by direct deposit so all the fishermen want to withdraw lots to pay their bills...they havent been paid in nearly 3 months now so there was a bit of cash the last while...and more people are paying bills online so less cash too at the office...we really really need a bank and I bet we get one before san ignacio...our village is twice the size and has 2 cooperativas and handles alot of loot.
There has been rumours of a bank machine for several years...hmmm..maybe an OXXO?...at least the road will be paved all the wy soon so it will be a quicker trip to Vizcaino for pesos and vino. It's funny listening to lots of people planning to get different vehicles...cars instead of pick ups when the paving is done.

Hijack? What Hijack? Wow! You're saying that Asuncion is twice the size of San Ignacio? I had no idea. Never been there. Been to Abreojos and kinda assumed it was similar. My bad. Me & Ms. Odd are headed South in a couple of weeks. Perhaps we should take a right at Vizcaino and see what it's all about.
