In Santiago two weeks ago, though, the Euro was about $1.27 U.S. Dollars. Bills are coming in for the credit card charges made in Santiago in Euros two weeks ago are being charged,on the average, at about $1.27 US Dlls. per Euro. <BR>
Alas, (for us in the USA), the $3,000 Dlls. for 2,500 Euros is not a typo.</FONT></HTML>
