Sadly we left the tower and our Tuscan paradise today – just now, that the hot summer weather arrived. Patrik and I got up very early this morning to greet the new day on the observation platform for the last time. Miasma was hanging over the small valleys below while the sun was just rising, gently melting away the fog. We admired the swallows below catching insects with much grace and high speed. 

On our various excursions throughout the region, we have met some wonderful people. A few of them were intrigued about home exchange and offered to list their homes with JewettStreet. In the weeks to come I would like to introduce them and their homes to you on the JewettStreet Blog. 

You might have wondered why you couldn’t find the tower in our listings. The tower owner simply was so overwhelmed with home exchange offers when he first tested the concept that he decided to try another approach. He is now a member of JewettStreet. At present, his parents would like to find a home exchange in California. So, you Californians out there, if you get a request from a tower owner in Tuscany, don’t be surprised!
