That’s the sales pitch of the tourism department for Amadeo, Cavite. The place we stay is about lands (farms?) aways from Figaro’s coffee farm. Right beside that is a horse ranch. Amadeo is a very rural county. Believe it or not, Meralco is just building its sub-station this year, and their main town doesn’t have Jollibee in it - you can mostly gauge the urbanity of a provincial town by the presence of fast food stores. The current prices of land for sale are very reasonable, but rumor has it land owners are holding back from selling since they are expecting a deluge of tourists coming in 2008. Our main goal is just to get a house there - three to four bedrooms, with a garage and garden, if you please. I still kick myself everytime I think about the three bedroom apartment which was huge which we let go - it was renting at four thousand pesos only! Would you believe?! Oh well, we cannot keep two houses at the same time, so we will begin the hunt again by December. By then, Matthew’s school is only three months away. I really wish we can have some big miracle next year that I’ll get loads of cash to transfer homes AND quit my job. Here’s to praying.
