My dollar may not buy as much as it might have a few years ago - but when I was there in 1979, $20 = 2000Gs!! I am bringing many things down, personal gift requests, etc., and hoping that my children (18 & 19) will see the differences from traveling from still one of the richest countries on the planet (just not distributed well) to one of the poorest countries (wealth distributed even worse!) Keeping eyes open and hoping (and working and VOTING) for change. Solo hay 19 dias!!!!!
