That's why we call 'em bureaucracies!

Still no response from Mexico City about our FM-3s. So, beginning today (the day our car permit expires) we'll not be driving "The Beast" (our '94 Toyota Land Cruiser) outside of Ocosingo until we have what we need to get it renewed. This will mean that we have to change our method of transporting groups with the loss of one key vehicle, when we already don't have enough to transport groups without renting vans. Guess that means we'll be renting an extra van! Bummer. The $300 fine will kick in on our credit card, despite all our best efforts to renew on-time, and we wait with baited breath for our papers to come in. We still plan to visit NC from mid-August until mid-September, and we're just trusting that the bureaucratic wheels of motion actually move by then!
