A local carpenter built ALL wood work in the villa from "primavera wood", a tropical, light-colored, hard wood that means "Spring" in Spanish and resists termites.
			He has a shop barely held together with clothes pins, yet he does this beautiful work.
			The posts are made from very hard Brazilian tree trunks. The frame of the palapa is Bogondillo wood. The ladder on which the palm fronds are placed is odade, which looks like a dark bamboo. The wrapping they used to wrap the joints is a strong vine.
			Banana trees and Buganbilias and other tropical flowers cascade down the hillside surrounding the villa. A tropical paradise to behold.
