Lois!!!!!!!!!!!!! girl where ya been, missin you lots, opps sorry becks this is kinda your thread, however Lois is one of the best!!! Casa doesn't supply hairdryers, but they do have a grea salon on site and there is a good one just down the street about half a block, that does manicure, pedicures, and wonderful massages for very little pesos.
In the big playero, ( grocery store) just up the street from the Checkpoint there is an ATM machine which you can take out 5000 pesos at a time, BUTTTTTT you can use your card as many times as you want, example we usually take out 20000 pecos per week and we do it all one day. this machine is honest and is easy to use, just like any normal machine. It will take bank cards, mastercard, visa's the rate is really good. But as Lois says the money exhanger beside the checkpoint was really good and he is very honest and gives the going rate for exchange. DO NOT CHANGE MONEY from the guys on the street as you will probaly end up with counterfiet. They are persistant but avoid them at all costs. Same with the guys on the Beach, there is also a Popular - which is a bank right in Sosua and there is also a bank of Nova Scotia just down the street from the big playero.
Lois I will call you really soon.
love ya
