A Dollar's Worth.

What can you buy with a dollar? Well in the United States, you can buy 10 mint candies, you can by 1/3 of a tank of gas, you can almost go one way on a bus (not quite..) You can buy an organic apple and a half, and you could even get a few bananas. 

In Honduras, one dollar is the equivalent to 18.9 Lempira. Which is a damned lot! Meaning that you can buy:

• 18 packs of Choco Risas (4 cookies in each packet.)
• 3 Pera Jugazzo juices.
• 2 bus fares (that takes you over 2 hours away.)
• 1 1/2 of bread (approx. 12 pieces in each.)
• 20 bananas.
• 3/4 box of cake mix (name brand.)
• 9 bags of Alborotos (my favorite snack/candy.)
• 3 notebooks.
• 1/2 handwoven neck scarf.

        The dollar just went down, meaning that the bank won't exchange any money for my poor lil' vols., looks like you may have to go with one less Choco Risa and lolli-suckers (right) for the week, sorry : (
