Gigi and Mersie arrive in NYC

  The European contingent is gathering. Mersie will travel to Paris with the rest of  the crew Thursday night. She'll meet Henry there and spend a few days before going to Berlin.  Zarha arrives tomorrow. I got some Euros from Chase Bank today but I think it was no bargain. The official rate was 1.43 and Chase charged me 1.51. I think they will do better over there. Although, it seems the Euro is on the rise. Ugh!
