Just a warning--some banks charge a hefty fee. Make sure you check the
exchange rate before going to the bank, so you can compare their rate
to the internet one.
Another place to exchange is at the Auto Club (AAA). They don't do all

Dear Tess and all,
how sad I feel after reading this news. I met Despina briefly but saw her at
most events. I had no idea she was ill. What a brave lady! I managed to
