Day 24

We went ion the home tour today, I have been on it several times over the years and just love it, think HGTV :). Friendship International hosts it twice a week during high season, all the money goes  into the community such as cleft lip and palate repair, beans and rice for the families of school children to feed and encourage school attendance, and much more, they brought in 65,000 U.S. dollars last year on the home  tour alone, great organization! We saw 4 homes, the first was dubbed the flintstone house, built and owned by an architect and used today as a spa, it is on the hill above the romantic zone.
House number two:
House 3 is covered in 2 palapas, they need to be replaced about every 6 years at the cost of around 6,000 each.
House 4 I have seen before on the tour, it is AMAZING!!!! Last time I saw it it was available to rent but new owners do not rent if out, don't think I would either!

Had lunch at Sea Monkey and did a little window shopping.
A man asked us if we needed an apartment to rent! (love the translations, I am no better though!)
Dinner tonight was a cab ride to Cuale Paradise, a beautiful family run restaurant on the river, may have been the best coconut shrimp this year!  Undoubtedly one of the best locations, a very romantic spot for dinner with my mom and sisters!!
