Where’s George? A currency tracking project

This past week, while visiting Raleigh, I came across this particular $1 dollar bill from the Where’s George project.

This exercise consists of a series of bills that have been tagged, marked, and released into the open public as an experiment that will hopefully lead to a better understanding of how currency travels. It works something like this: once a person comes across one of these bills, before it’s passed along, he or she can register it on a website and write about how the currency was acquired. The website then keeps track of how the bill moves around, and if you choose to, it can notify you of further movement of your bill.

Around Seville [2] The Cathedral

In my first night around Seville I made one significant stop (which was non-food related). I visited the Cathedral in Seville, final resting place of Christopher Columbus.

Around Seville [1]

I arrived at Seville. I have to admit I was exhausted from the long travel, flying into Madrid and then, only 2 hours later, taking a train. Once here, I decided to get myself out into the old city. It was a two-fold strategy. I have never visited before and this might be my only chance to do so on this trip. My work schedule begins tomorrow morning at 9:00am. Walking around would also ensure that I would wear myself out completely to sleep through the night.

Of course, first thing is first. I have to hunt down some nice typography.

I am always surprised that more typography like this is not found in Puerto Rico.

Maybe I am the only person who finds this odd, but a young man searching to take care of older people… hmm, suspicious in my book.

Bar Europa. Strongly recommended by my father, mother and uncle. After enjoying it, I fully endorse their recommendation.

Small, cozy place.

Menu of this bar. It had some of the tastiest ham croquettes I have had in my life. (and if you know me, you are aware of my experience on the topic. jeje)

Caught my eye.

Right across from the bar.
