Serafina. Gotta love your post above! in 1978 ( 39 years ago ) I was visiting BA right before the World Cup held here. People were writing the BA Herald.Letters to the Editor section about local situations that they found embarrasing to show to foreign visitors...

HenryNisenthal : Thought # 1 .exactly. Thought # 2 exactly and that is why for the sake of social peace in order to get more important tasks accomplished,it¡d be best to just let her fade away but in disgrace. The...

Bradly is right .Only USD 100 bills and no markings .I have been using my cueva for years and the one time I had to give them $50s and $20s,they put on a really long face before they finally took them.
