Very lucky indeed! I was waiting for the car to be taken away….and not returned! So easily could have happened in addition to any cash bribe paid. Phew. Phew.
In Costa Rica during Covid we had driving restrictions.. certain days for certain placa numbers odd and even. We had 2 cars and wouldn’t you know it- both were odd numbers so we couldn’t drive even on opposite days! Sometimes we’d borrow someone else’s car if we had to drive on a day that our car wasn’t allowed.
I always had the fear of be jailed in a foreign country, so Jacob I’m glad you and Andrea weren’t stranded or jailed. Ten cuidado!!
In CDMX they had a similar system re even versus odd plate ending #s. Of course, driving through the city/state as an international, all internationals are supposed to be exempt. Well, on our drive through, the policia who stopped us hadn't read the memo. Some day I'll have the nerve to write that story. I'd started once before but, a hard one. We never drove down again though after that.
Wow. You guys were lucky. So glad.

Oh interesting! Some stories are hard to tell- I get that Jeanine! If you write it, I’d read.
