The $

This is not my first mention of the $ and probably won't be my last. I continue to be amazed at the value of the U.S. $ . . . well, what I mean is the LACK of it. For every Euro spent, it's the equivalent of spending about $1.50. Of course it changes daily, but not significantly so far.

Now that may not sound like much, but that's for EVERY Euro. Like recently I took $200 cash out of the ATM here, our bank statement read $292. It's like that $92 didn't exist. Gone.

We decided if the current exchange rate continues (and we wouldn't wish that) until after we return to Verenigde Staten, we'll think we're rijk!
