We are not staying at an AI so we'll be eating/drinking/entertaining ourselves out and about. Because we are annoying uber newbs, we have no idea what we might spend from day to day, thus it's hard to gage what an appropriate withdrawal amt. might be...
Also, I imagine, here and there, we will need US cash for the silly touristy things that uber newbs like us are drawn to...do the atm's also dispense USD if we need to or do we need to visit a bank to do so?
These questions probably seem quite inane and ignorant--apologies in advance as I'm sure I'll have more increasingly irritating questions as our trip approaches...  |
No, you don't need US cash for silly touristy things. It's Mexico. The silly Mexicans take pesos.
