Two things:
This afternoon, Ryan and I set off to exchange a bit of currency in preparation for our trip this upcoming spring.
So we decided to trade £20.o5 for kr200.00. Each week we will gather currencies for each of our destinations so we are ready for travel. Next week, we'll be trading in our pounds for Icelandic króna. The exchange rate doesn't seem to be in Iceland's favour. We'll be getting 2624.81 isk for our little £20.00 exchange. But, I'm pretty sure Iceland's economy is
slightly inflated. Who knows, perhaps we'll be paying 1000 isk for a loaf of bread?
Also, if anyone is interested, I am providing a link to the 2006 Dewey Lecture which Rorty gave. It's slightly geared towards specialists, yet only slightly. If you have some time, sit down a give it a listen. It's worth the investment.
Lecture.
