It was a really great week. Only one rainy day and that was turned into a shopping day. Another cloudy day was spent in the glorious streets of St Theresa...my very favorite place to walk around. We combed the entire town up and down its steep hills. The guidebooks don't do it justice. So many pictures! Much of our time was spent at wonderful Ipanema Beach. It was so relaxing. We got three massages... and going home much more relaxed than when we arrived.

Your apartment is everything a person could want...spacious and comfortable...clean...wonderful mattress...hot shower! Thanks for going the extra mile with the cafe table and chairs on the balcony. We had breakfast out there every day except one. We also arranged a little "happy hour" out there each evening before we went to dinner. Your lovely gift of wine supplemented our vodka...tonic...cheeses and bread.

Great to have washers...dryers in the basement. Save yourself time and have an attendant do it for you!

That aside...it was a genuine good time...we packed in an entertaining week...took tons of pictures...and ate many enjoyable meals. Your recommendations were very appreciated and spot-on. We are making a list of activities for out next visit.
