Many thanks to our Belgian Correspondent.  We wish her and her family safe travels.  (Although they are almost certainly home by now):

“Being good tourists and being in the neighborhood, we paid an obligatory visit to Atlantic City, NJ.  We strolled through some never-ending casinos with the intention to spend some 25 dollars, but we just didn’t feel like playing the odds with a programmable machine, and to play at the tables, $25 was just not enough to start out with.  Eventually we just paid for the parking, $5, and for a bottle of water at some simple stand in the middle of the sparkling jungle.  Amazingly, that bottle cost exactly $2. The perfect occasion to spend my last two-dollar bill.  The vendor gave me the sweetest, happiest smile I ever got from a vendor. I was still enjoying his smile, smiling back at him, when he concluded this great two-dollar experience for me with the perfect phrase: “I just LOVE two-dollar bills!”

So, that’s it, the end of my two-dollar experiences. Thanks Jake for this fun project! Lots of fun with it as far as it reaches, and with your next projects, here or abroad!”
