Mustache Money!

Check our the mustache on this guy.  50,000 Colombian pesos is about $15. How excellent, yet slightly disorienting, to be thinking in money with all these zeros tagging along.

Where else can you get 300,000 out of an ATM?

Our hostel (private bath, three beds for us three) is costing us each only $8/night in Cartagena. At a tiny nearby supermercado we loaded up on fresh fruit, cheese, eggs, and veggies for a (wildly delicious sassy-fresh) homemade dinner and spent all of $12. Buying that in Ithaca would have been probably about $50.

So, divide dollars by 3 and tack on 4 zeros!
