Subject: Re: Carrying Money in South America: use ATM's! Posted on: 14 Aug 2004 16:39:11 GMT

Carry your ATM card on your body. Or leave it somewhere safe when you do
not need it out in the streets.
ATM.s are everywhere. Even in San Ignacio in Misiones, Argentina!
Or even Barreirinhas in Maranhao, Brazil.
And the best terrace in Salvador, Brazil (Terreiro de Jesus).
An ATM adjacent; at your service!
