1817
Marti’s and Mike’s housesit was my first shortly after joining HouseSitMexico. How could I have been so fortunate for my first go around the block! For close to 2 1/2 weeks I was surrounded by beautiful art inside and outside their home, Mumu, the lovable horse, Chebala, the timid mule and my two new best friends, the Pittie, Cookie and the Blue Heeler, Mago. Marti left me a notebook full of guidance for any possible question I might have. She picked me up at the bus station and drove me back at the end of the stay, took me grocery shopping and even had me stay overnight before the housesit so I could get acclimated to the property and the animals’ routines. We texted back and forth during their trip as questions came up. She was always accessible. Given that I was carless and Marti and Mike live in the campo, they did everything possible to make sure I had ways to get into town, gave me the use of their car to drive to the bus stop and lists of sites to see when out and about. But honestly, their property was so green and lush, the butterflies and birds so enchanting, the views so spectacular and the animals so entertaining that I hardly ventured out. Marti gave me full rein of her art studio to play in too. I took more photos there than I’ve taken while traveling abroad! More than 5 stars!
