Money is a Beach

So the American economy is tanking at the moment. Quite an interesting time to be living in Europe. Unfortunately, there is little left for me to do except make it through my studies and hope for the best. It really is crazy to see headlines from the paper saying, "Dollars tough to sell on streets of Amsterdam." I mean the dollar has lost 10 cents in the last month and over 20% of its value since I arrived in August.

While I am not going to get into the reasons for why this dollar predicament is happening conveniently while I am in Europe, I think it is still very important for not only Americans but other internationals to think of the repercussions that the collapse of the dollar could have. I think this exchange rate graph nicely sums up the extremes of this decline...









So with that I leave you some pictures from the beach which is only about 10 kilometers from here and still is free to attend!
