I was on my monthly pedal across Stanton Street POE (Port of Entry, except this time it was to exit because this is a one-way POE South; the Northbound POE is two blocks West), to the magnificent country of Mexico, specifically to Casa de Adobe/Parque Madero/Boundary Marker One, and I knew I needed pesos. Since it was still a bit early, before the border area had fully woke up, I was extremely pleased that this fine business was open. Currency exchange (US dollars to USM pesos and vice versa) is amongst it's many services and cashier 8 quickly, professionally, & friendly converted my US dollars.
I saw a few too-large Peso notes, and asked her for smaller denominations, which she efficiently did. (I knew that my regular Northbound stop on Norzagaray included El Sancho Barbacoa, smaller notes would be appreciated.
This is not the first time I've been able to change money at this excellent facility. The fact that it is so close to the border and where I cross really adds to the convenience. This gets my "Wheel of Approval!" read more
