Some times one doesn't know one IS experiencing
the Good Old Days, but this time I was sure I was,
Jan. 1987, after a few days at Muertos Bay, so. east
La Paz, went to Cabo caught the ferry to P Vallarta,
that is some 300 +mi. across, can't remember what
# the peso was, 2200/2800 per $? there was a few
types of ferry passage prices, we went for the second best,
which was a cabin for 2, with shower, had a
samll pickup, the TOTAL price for 2, with truck
was $11 US, I knew then that was the best bargin
I would ever see, of course the ferry was subsidized
by the Mex Govt., sometime around 1990 a private
Co. took over the ferries, a case of beer, when taking
back a case of empities was $3 US
