Day 1: The house

Today we arrived at our rental house, and were both really happy and a little creeped out. The house is amazing, its bigger than our house back home, and it has an outdoor shower and a hot tub. It is set on 5 acres of land and is within walking distance of 2 beaches, although not right on the ocean. The decor is very eclectic, and is right up our alley.

Its way out in the country, so its a bit creepy for us city folk to be somewhere with only the buzzing of crickets, the chirping geckos, and some chickens rustling around from time to time. The house doesn't really "lock up", I mean there are locks, but it would take an amateur ten seconds to get in here with a credit card through any of the many screens or flimsy hook locks.

On the property live the caretaker, a dog, a really friendly and sweet kitty, and a shit ton of chickens. Also, there are geckos everywhere, including inside and in our bedroom. Its ok though, they are very small and eat the bugs around. They do make a really loud chirping noise at night, which is somewhat startling, but overall they are pretty kind.

Here is a picture of a chicken:
