Hell’s Half Acre

To continue the saga, Jamie and Michael headed into Guanajuato and spoke with the tourist people. For future reference, if you have any trouble, go to the tourist information people; they are very interested in your happiness (at least in Guanajuato). They told their story, got a translator (courtesy of the tourist information people) and went from office to office to finally the “head” of the tourist people who personally knows the owner of the campground, Carlos Puente. She called him on his cell phone and counselled Jamie and Michael not to pay a thing. Carlos Puente should be out to talk to us later today (or tomorrow?) and smooth things over. The tourist people are VERY concerned that we were upset and troubled that we were threatened. I forgot to add (or maybe I did), the owner of the restaurant (now it is confusing because there appear to be two seperate restaurants here on the premesis) said, “how about I damage your TRAILER!!!” So the tourist people are very concerned that we are upset. They assured Jamie and Michael that the police had NOT been called, that they WOULD NOT be called and that the Florida guy was talking out of his ass.

So here we sit and wait and see what trouble Carlos Puente brings, but at the very least, we know the tourist people have our back. For future information, the head of the tourist people (I just got her card to verify) Licenciada Iliana Bernardino Cruz, the Director of Tourist Services, asked us to contact her today after we speak with Carlos Puente and report how things are going.
