You probably already know about the magic of Nuevo Mexico. This space
offers you a most comfortable home, only slightly off the beaten
track. Relax. 

And even if you do know the magic of these lands, read The Milagro
Beanfield War as a good refresher in the power of the spirit.

I will be glad to answer your questions by email or phone, and have
provided a number of local publications and some books for your
further research once you have arrived al Torreon. Feel free to stop
me once I get going; I love to share my love of la tierra de los 
norteños.

Regular high season rates are: $600/week, plus refundable cleaning
deposit; $1150/2 weeks, plus refundable cleaning deposit;

I will be happy to lease this property for $1500/month with year long

For the month of December ONLY I will discount 20% on the
above rates.

On those ocassions that I do not have guests booked, I will sometimes
discount for a last minute stay. I am putting 4 children through
college, in part on the income the Tower brings in. Be gentle, be
kind, and perhaps I can offer you such a discount.

But wait too long, and the Tower may be booked!

I will accept PayPal, but only if my expense if kept to a minimum.
Sorry, but at present I am not set up to accept Credit Cards. But if
you must, I will look into it through friends. I will try to work 
with
any situation.

I do like to travel, and so would consider an exchange.

I have never done so before, but if you have some space to share or
exchange, let's talk.

I am a single man who works as an artist/writer/photographer. I have 
a
great respect for people and their space. In other words, an easy
person with whom to share.

Exchange need not be simultaneous. I would be interested in returning
to Europe, Central or South America, and many places in the US. I am
particularly interested in Prague, Central and Southern Europe, but
open to all possiblities.
