Liar
“But then again, back when people lived in castles, the average scullery maid never lived far from the queen. Rivo Alto Island is a world away from my neighborhood.
The streets of Rivo Alto crisscross over the curving canal for which the island was named. Both the man-made island and its canal were the brainchild of a turn-of-the-century developer who looked at a mudflat and saw money. He wasn’t wrong.
Margot’s manse was one of the island’s more modern ones; someone undoubtedly tore down an olde...r house to build it-not an uncommon practice there. As a result, you’d be hard-pressed to find another area as small as Rivo Alto crowded with so many varieties of architectural style.
The houses are closer together than those in my neighborhood, but larger, and those situated along the canal, as Margot’s is, each have private docks. The boats have plenty of space, but it’s tougher to get around on Rivo Alto in a car-I ended up double-parking in the narrow lane in back of Margot’s place.MoreLess
