I'm sorry you did not leave a last name, since there is no way we can look up your uncle in Galegos the next time we go to Galicia (mid-April to Mid June). Your price is way too low, but our price is negotiable. If you come back to read this, since you have been reading my Facebook, please private message me more contact information. Have a great day.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-26155915141930992112019-11-12T03:07:59.339-08:002019-11-12T03:07:59.339-08:00Hello Elizabeth!
I am writing because, as you are,...Hello Elizabeth!<br />I am writing because, as you are, my family and I are in love with the Ribeira Sacra and, specifically the Pantón area. We use to stay in my uncle’s house in the little village of Galegos, near Torre Vilariño, where, as you do, we use to have lunch when we are there. Perhaps, we have coincide there without knowing it!<br />The last time we have been to Galegos has been last Halloween (no better place for it than Galicia, the land of the Santa Compaña (the Holy Company), and other legends of witches and ghosts as you may have known!). <br />And then it was when we discovered Trasulfe. And in Trasulfe, your house. I have to confess that we took two pears from your pear tree and a quince. But we didn't touch the two mushrooms in the meadow! <br />Looking about Trasulfe on the internet, we have seen that your house is for sale, and, also, that you are its owner (I recognize that I have been reading this blog and your Facebook account: very interesting).<br />It would be a dream for us to buy the house. It is where we would like to see our 10 year old son spend the summers and contemplate the most beautiful autumn in the world. Unfortunately, the amount in which it is valued is out of reach for us. I don't think we can exceed a total of 60,000 euros. Will it be possible to make a deal? In any case, hopefully we will coincide in Galicia in the near future and you can visit us at my uncle’s house in Galegos, where you will be more than welcome.<br />All the best!<br />David.<br />David F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16425305951349939522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-51982649511001634012019-06-20T09:35:26.822-07:002019-06-20T09:35:26.822-07:00Thank you, Mirka.

We definitely would have wanted to be there at the funeral and to give Eva moral support. Luckily, her daughters and their families were there, and other neighbors and friends. They were well known through all the nearby villages.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-80616182375059227692019-06-12T12:21:03.310-07:002019-06-12T12:21:03.310-07:00Hi, Donna; It really IS hard to lose friends.
