Visit to Casa Linda - 3
After meeting with the developer in the morning it was time for an afternoon of relaxation!
I wanted to change some of my US cash to the local currency of Pesos. I mentioned this to Rich and he said he'd take me to a good spot to do this. So we got in the truck and off we went. Now I was expecting to head to the local currency exchange - apparently that was not the place to get the best exchange rate. A corner on the street in Sosua was!
We stopped at the corner and 'the man' came to the truck window with a huge wadge of cash in his hand and he asked to me how much I wanted to exchange! Very strange - however I handed over my $100 and got back 4500 Pesos in return! I was happy with that exchange rate.
There were a number of guys providing this service all out in the open - all with significant amounts of cash on display - I am just surprised that they don't get robbed!!
