Rent Coming Due - ATM is Empty
With the land lady's visit today, I am reminded that the rent is coming due on the first of September. I took a cab to the ATM, and tried to do my multiple withdrawls. The only ATM that works for me, only had R$830 available in the machine. My rent due is R$1400. The land lady suggested that I get as much as possible today, and then try again at a later date. I can't believe I tapped out an ATM. I don't use ATMs regularly so I don't know if it is a common event to clean out all the cash or not, but it was a first for me.
As not to let the R$10 = US$7 round trip cab fare go to waste, I decided to purchase a few items we were running low on. 30 medium eggs for R$10 = US$7, one loaf of french bread R$2.00 = US$1.20, 1 small round chocolate cake for Laura R$5 = US$3, and some prata bananas.
