 On Sat. Feb. 20, 2010
 On the above date I checked 
                      many cambio casas: I checked Monygram: 1.760Note: I always check them 
                      because they are in my favorite supermarket...and 
                      they ALWAYS offer the poorest prices.
 In El Centro the COP CAMBIO prices per one dollar were: 
                       
                        |  | 1.820 |  |   
                        |  | 1.820 |  |   
                        |  | 1.830 |  |   
                        |  | 1.840 |  |   
                        |  | 1.840 |  |   
                        |  | 1.850 |  |   
                        | and one Casa 
                            de Cambio offered:  | 1.860 |  |   
                        | I changed $790 
                            u.s. at 1.860 and received: | 1.469.400 |  |  With the International 
                      company I would have received 1.390.400. . . a 
                      LOSS OF:   cop79.OOO Sooooo, in a short healthy walk, and 20 minutes time, I 
                      saved more than 5%, using a local Cartagena company.In this declining world economy, (caused 
                      mostly by governments-starting with the u.s. govt.) 
                      every Peso saved, helps!
 There is no use in me telling you the name and location 
                      of the Casa because the rates 
                      and Casa's can very frequently. Do Your Own DUE DILIGENCE...enjoy walking 
                      around beautiful Cartagena.... you will be safe. Have fun, 
                      and $AVE! Regards,Jim
