After a very warm welcome from our host, Gonzo, and a refreshing home made lemonade, we were introduced to our beautiful home away from home. A haven of tranquility, off the beaten track in the middle of nowhere. The perfect location, with a tower, for our eclipse viewing. This property is also most tastefully furnished. The delicious food personally prepared and cooked by our wonderful host with an emphasis on organic ingredients and combining excellent talent was quite a treat. The carefully maintained gardens with their Zen arrangements were an oasis of peace. A beautiful peacock strutted around, followed always by a faithful Guinea fowl, humming birds whizzed past, parrots flew from tree to tree. Lovely Weimaraner Luca and gorgeous cat Julieta, the stream, the log fires and the storytelling will be missed. Special thanks to Gonzo for taking our car to have the puncture mended.
