Counterfeit Money

This weekend I lost 50 pesos in counterfeit money, which was really annoying. I think there's a real problem of counterfeiting here, so everyone is always really careful about checking. (Except me, apparently). It had a 'watermark' (that I guess was not really a watermark at all) so I was convinced it was real even though 2 stores wouldn't accept it. I eventually went to a bank to ask, and they (after a minute or two of scrutiny, I guess it was a good counterfeit) confirmed. That now brings my total up to 90 pesos lost in counterfeit money! Ugh. Oh well.

On a happier note - my two girlfriends and I are planning a trip to Córdoba for this weekend, leaving Wednesday night on an overnight bus and coming home on a Sunday night overnight bus. I'm looking forward to it!
