Triumph des touristischen Willens: Mehr Meerblick!

Since last year our immaculate sea-view has been severely marred by an ugly electricity-pole right in front of the house. When we arrived in January 2007 the sight of it hit us - literally on the head. The whole house seemed disgraced by it.
We started to negotiate how to get rid of it.
Ingenheiro Domingo from ELECTRA turned out to be the crucial person. Only last week we got hold of him and he gave his approval. The next day the lines were disconnected and the neighbour now gets his electricity via our roof.
Today Tony arrived with his new maquina and the culprit was finally removed.
As it had been standing for some time without any lines on it, the neighbours and also our Senhora Celeste had already started to attach certain hopes to it: to them it looked like good firewood for some weeks . For
- our neighbour it had been a symbol of his modern standard of living,
- for the ELECTRA people to whom I first complained, it was another possibility to attach a streetlight to,
- the local ladies appreciated its possible use as fuel,
- only we ungrateful "brancos" wanted it removed.







A free view at last!! We can physically feel the difference!
