My Visit With Mirvate: Currency

Now that my family has both the transportation and the language worked out, the last thing we need to do is exchange some money into the Lebanese currency, which is called the Lebanese frank. We were hoping to do this before we get to Lebanon, because we don't have a sure place to do it once we are there. If Mirvate will let us, we are hoping to treat, so she doesn't have to spend any extra money on accommodating us.

We had a very hard time deciding how much money to exchange, but it didn't matter all too much if we went a little over, because whatever we had left over we were going to going to give to Mirvate's family to support their business. After all, not much you can do with Lebanese money in America!

We also had to keep a log of how much money we spent in total on our trip. My family that we would spend most of our expenses on travel in Lebanon and sightseeing, but food could also be a large factor in out finances. Overall, I personally hope we exchange a bit too much money, because I love supporting Mirvate and her business.
