Using Local Currency as a Time Capsule. Top Story - November 2023.
On our last big trip through Mexico and Central America, every time we left a country, I glued an envelope into my journal and put a local note in there. I wrote what it was worth at the time and any little notes about it that came to mind about the local currency.

The Brushstroke of Time. Content Warning.
In the charming town of Willowbrook, nestled on the banks of a tranquil river, there stood a centuries-old art gallery known as "The Brushstroke of Time." It was a place where art came to life in the most unexpected way, and where the past and present danced together through the magical power of time travel. This is the story of a gallery that held secrets as vivid as the paintings it showcased and a mystery that transcended the boundaries of time itself.

HOLA, MAMI
