House hunting in El Valle

     Yesterday we went and looked at the house we want to move into...all that's left is the signing of the papers.  It's located two blocks off of the main road, which means it.s quite a bit quieter...and is more than enough for what we need.  It has a master bedroom with bath, and a guest bedroom with a bath, as well as an office and a "dry room" with a dehumidifier...a place to keep books and important papers so they don't get damaged from the humidity.  There is also a third bathroom in the main hall, so there won't be any waiting in line!  The kitchen is quite large, and also has a utility room with double utility sinks and shelf storage for all the groceries.  It comes fully furnished and the rent includes sattelite TV, cable internet, and water.  We pay for the electricity and the twice a week maid/gardener ($28.00 a week). The basic rent is $700 a month, and with the electricity and maid/gardener it should be under $850 for the whole package.  We shall be moving in on August 1st and are really looking forward to it.  Pictures of the inside will have to wait until next time. 
     The house is on an unpaves street...it's all grass!  It's really beautiful and I'll be sure to include some more pictures next time, but for now that's our latest excellent adventure here in Panama!
