No, it's still higher than that. I just went to the bank and my exchange rate was 13.086. Not as good as a couple of days ago, but still fantastic!

Oanda.com actually shows the rate at 13.0775 so Santander Bank is a bit better than that. yaaay!

Susan:

You are looking at retail bank rates which is a "real" rate considering the bank always charges a TON to exchange. The forex rate is now near 12.25. Amazing how the idiot banks can lose sooo much money when they have a built in 5% on exchange. Most bank execs I know aren't the brightest bulbs!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Oh, I see. Either way, it's higher than I've ever seen it. That's great for those of us that earn Dollars and buy things/pay bills in Pesos!!

The weather BLOWS! I think Cancun is now in a rain forest. We have had MANY thunderstorms lately and I'm NOT happy about it.

Much better than three years ago! We left town three days before you know who came rolling in!

I'm not taking my baby (my camera) out in the rain....and I always think "hmmm, I should go try to take lightning pics", but never actually get off the couch to give it a try.

Thanks for putting it all in perspective, Dougout! I can handle rain any day of the week, but I don't ever want to see another hurricane like Wilma! (or anything even close to that!)

Must be a Hasselblad if it's a baby! ha ha

I wish! All of my nice cameras are my "babies", but they aren't Hasselblad's. Those are WAY out of my budget. Ahhhh....so dream of having one someday soon is nice though.
