Transcript (4.2) of Rosa María's words: < Previous | Next >
My house is here, and about ten meters off the edge of the cliff – you come to the edge of the cliff and you have this view of the whole valley. I think it's unusual in the tropics to have that kind of a view. It's probably not hard to find, but most people don't look for that.

When I went to live there, people thought I was absolutely, stark, raving mad. "Well, there are flat areas, you know, you could get off the boat and just walk ten meters and do your house there. Why are you doing your house way up there? You know; what's wrong with you? You must be crazy! You're not going to last there at all. You'll be coming back out in no time." And now everybody wishes they were at the house (laughs).
