getting ridiculous for this american

A few years ago. I could buy 1 euro for $.85 so a 5 euro Coke in a cafe cost $4.25. At todays rate for $1.33 I can buy 1 euro so a 5 euro Coke in a cafe now costs me $6.65 ouch! This makes the 28 euro hamburger at the Rome Hilton out of the question $37.24+tip At least my free award nites (seem) like a bargain, but its the exact same room I stayed in before. Time to give Europe a break
