I'm not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign that businesses are accepting Euros...definitely interesting. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for each of us to have a few Euros in our pockets.

Pretty crazy though.

I have about 15 euros left over from Paris 2 yeara ago. The dollar/euro is absolutely devastating to those of us who wish to travel internationally. What is next? The peso will overrun the dollar. What can we even do about it?
