When Jorge and I arrived, we were given a full tour of the house. That is how we got to see Collin&#8217;s exercise wheel in the photo above. How funny is that thing? Our bedroom was stunning. The shower was amazing. I really loved the home&#8217;s aesthetic. Our hosts also happened to be a gay couple too so I really enjoyed that Jorge and I could be ourselves without worry while staying together in another person&#8217;s home. With people having such strong feelings nowadays, you just never know. Fortunately, with this home, it was a total non-issue. In fact, we actually went out to dinner one night with our hosts! We got drinks together and went to some taco place for dinner. We also had a comedy movie night towards the end of our trip haha.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-25329 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/img_9158\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=150,height=150,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_9158.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-25327\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-25327'>\n\t\t\t\tInternational Medical Group\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/img_9159\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=150,height=150,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_9159.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-25323\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-25323'>\n\t\t\t\tDuos Kitchen\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There weren&#8217;t many places to eat nearby so Jorge and I mostly spent our mornings walking to the one walkable place we could get to: Duos Kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Before you get too excited, let me explain.
