Note#1 I am going to start up my TenPeso campaign again for the East Cape Guild Scholarship Fund. As you know, I do not charge for the BajaPonyExpress and because everyone has either received a lot of coconuts, knowledge or laughs via the BPE, I am going to ask that when you see me, put a 10peso coin into my Scholarship bolsa. My goal this season will be 1200 Ten peso coins (or equivalent). I'll give periodic reports as to how the coffer if filling up. And, I am very proud to report that I already have received 107 coins from generous friends that were anxious to get the ball rolling. So, 1200 minus 107 is only 1093 to go! This should be easy since the BPE goes out to almost 2000 email address every day. Thank you, Cheryl bajaduck@bajaduck.com  141-0308.

 

Note#2:  Please check out the Valentine section at the end of this BPE.  Everyday there is something new, fun and/or delicious.

ATM DISCUSSION

a. I have been getting my cash from the Los Barriles ATM's (Cajeros) for almost 7 years. The costs of making ATM withdrawals in Los Barriles are as complicated as the people who make them. They are based on a number of things. One is the exchange rate. We all know what it is and we all know that it changes regularly-every day in most institutions. But the rate is not universal. It varies from Bank to bank. So, the fact that this or that bank does or does not levy ATM fees is not the only factor is deciding which offers the best deal. There are other fees as well. My primary bank charges me no ATM fee but they do charge a 3% international exchange fee. Another bank I use charges neither but their exchange rate it 2% higher. So, I recommend that we accept the fact that the banks are going to make money from us and just do our best to keep it at a minimum by thoroughly doing our homework.
