Also, I usually try to spend down my Euros so I come home Euro-broke, but the last time I ended up in Cincinnati with about $300 Euros in my pocket. I got REAMED on the exchange rate. So if I get caught with a bunch of Euros again, what is the best way to exchange them once I'm back home here in the corn fields?
We had once place here in Barcelona ask for ID to use a chip card and a signature.

As far as your excess Euros, I'm here to help you...just send them to me.
