All systems Go!

Being of a worrisome nature, even though the bank had reassured the notaire that he should set a time for the closing on the house in Nojals, I've been waiting for that letter from the bank, the letter approving the bridge loan, to show up. No such luck. Now, of course, our mail has been forwarded - supposedly - to Ste. Colombe as of last Tuesday, although none has shown up there. So no letter from the bank. It having warmed up here a bit, we wandered over to the bank this morning. As we sat in the junior banker's office, ready to make an appointment with the senior banker for the afternoon, the fellow himself walked jovially into the office and showed us the loan approval! He had just got the fax a few minutes before. So - all is set! Woohoo!!! I will probably sleep better tonight, instead of waking up in the wee hours wondering what we'd do when everything fell apart.

So, OK, now I feel I can post lots of info and photos of the area where we'll be living. First is a link to a nearby town called Monpazier - easily the prettiest town I've seen anywhere.
