We woke up this morning to bright, sunny skies, happy to have our last day be such a beautiful one. I’ve been working on finding a place for us to come back to next year and nothing has quite moved me. I was corresponding with two agents, Jade and Sylvi from Sol International and they had a property we might be interested in. So by 8:30 the four amigos were headed out, over the mountain to Playa Venao to meet with Sylvi. We met her at our favorite restaurant, although it wasn’t open yet and Javi was not around. After a quick hello we followed her over some very scenic road. We drove about 40 minutes up a mountain, steep curves being out done by other steep curves. It was amazing but a little frightening. It’s like riding on a roller coaster without being strapped in. When we finally got to Villa Toscana I fell in love.
The view was spectacular. You could see the mountains all around and the pacific in the distance. The house is set on top of a mountain and we could feel the cool breezes as we stood on the balcony. Actually there were several balconies. 
The house has two bedrooms and three and a half baths. 
I was so disappointed after I looked at my pictures. I accidentally changed a setting that caused me to over expose the shots. My photos do not do this place justice. It surpassed all of my expectations for a place to live here. Bruce and I decided immediately that this was our place so we started the process. I’m hoping all goes through for next spring.
Another big bonus for me came after we drove about a tenth of a mile from the house. Guess what I saw hanging out in the trees? 
That’s right! My favorite howler monkeys. We couldn’t really stop for long, this little guy was in a tree on a curve in the road, and it would have been dangerous. But we stopped long enough for him to model a few poses. What a ham! I really want this house now that I know there are howlers in the neighborhood.
We made one last stop at the bakery for a baguette to go along with the pasta we are having tonight; then went back to our place to change into our suits for one last swim.
We had a great time in Pedasi and met a lot of interesting people. Hopefully we will see them next year. Tomorrow we head to Panama City for two days before we head back to the States and reality.
We cooked our last dinner together and played two games of cards. We each won one. Now how fair is that? Life is good!
