I saw everyone accepted Dollars, so when I got back I sold them. Yet again another fee. Who knows how much it cost me by buying and selling.

Then I decided to make the New Year's Eve trip. This time I drove and paid for gas, some stuff and food. I wish I had kept the Pesos.

Oh well, when one travels, one cannot think of nickel and dime stuff.

But every penny also counts.

In Baja Norte most everyone takes the dollar. Just a small example. I stayed at Campo Beluga for 3 nights on my Christmas trip. He charges 25 dollars a night for his little enclosed cabanas. Since I only had pesos it was 400 pesos per night. I got my pesos from the atm at the 17.5 rate so my cost was around 23 bucks a night. 3 nights and I saved 6 bucks. That's a 6 pack of Pacifico
