The national currency of Mexico is the Peso. When you see prices listed the listing will appear with the $ sign in front of the Peso amount. Banco de Mexico is the nation’s central bank and issues coins and paper money that are legal tender. Although in some parts of the country travelers may be able to spend U.S. Dollars, prices are almost always less expensive when using the Peso. The exchange rate does fluctuate by cents every day. On-line currency converters help travelers to have an idea and translate Pesos into their home country currency. Many places will take U.S. Currency in Mexico, but the exchange rate may not be the best, but stills good due to the competition (e.g. at 10 pesos to the dollar instead of the current bank ATM rate of 10.85) so ask ahead of time. “Small Unmarked Bills” is also the operative phrase: The slightest mark, writing or tear on a U.S. bill will cause it to be refused in Mexico. Highly worn bills will also likely be rejected.

The United States uses the United States dollar as its currency. The dollar is one of the world’s most common currencies and is convertible to most other currencies. Recently many of the paper bills have been redesigned with additional security features including the use of microprinting, colors and larger faces on the bills. Old-design bills, however, are still in circulation. Keep in mind that if you return home with large amounts of old-design bills, your local banks may be unwilling to exchange them for fear of receiving older counterfeits.

Blasting out lightning fast scales on the classical guitar is a very impressive feat. It sounds so good and really raises the emotional level of your playing. You really can increase your playing speed if you understand a few basic principles.

The first principle of speed on the classical guitar is the fact that whole pieces are not fast. Speed in compositions comes in bursts. This is the basic tenet of comparison. A piece played Largo might have Andante passages that are fast. But these Andante passages are slow if compared to a composition that is presto or prestissimo. So be aware that speed is not necessarily how many notes a second but more a factor of notes and phrases in comparison to each other.

Combining photography with the passion of hiking, biking and mountain climbing can result in the most incredible photographs imaginable.
