Dollar Sinks to Record Low in Europe

As an American in Europe at the moment, I can tell you that I paid about $9 for a beer two nights ago… mighty pricey!

"As the AP points out, a 300-euro hotel room in Paris would have cost Americans about $351 in November 2005.”

And don’t forget: That room would have been SUB-$300 in late 2002. How I long for those days again ...

I was discussing this last week with an American friend that came over to the UK…
