Steven,

Hello,

My name is Bret. I am considering moving to Santarem, my wife is orginally from Santarem. She is the daughter of the late (Joao "GiGi Alho).

I have a few questions on the cost of living.

What is your average cost of the following if you don't mind providing the information:

Electic Bill

Water

Cable TV or Satellite TV

Other Utilities

Food

Other costs that individuals will have.

I have been to Santerem every year for the last 7 years for about a month everytime.

I also realize that the dollar is getting killed by the real.... but maybe the dollar will bounce back.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Also will be down in June maybe we can get together for a beer!

Thanks again,

Bret

Bret, I think we've met some years ago. I knew GiGi Alho and we're friends with Dr. Rui and Family. I'm trying to remember your wife's name, Dhea, or something like that? Seems you are or were military? Hope I'm not confusing you with another family member. Send me a private message at amazonto@gmail.com/ I'll try to answer you questions. Abracos
