Pics of the house

Here are some pictures of our villa from the outside. We have a huge oak type tree and palm tree in our front yard. As of now, the grass is overtaken by ground cover that is dying but we are working on getting grass in the front yard. It is very different how all the houses here have flat roofs with access from the inside of the villa. We have a set of stairs that goes up to a third level which is just a door to the roof. Also, all the houses are painted in neutral colors of sand, beige, off white to blend in the the desert I guess. It reminds me of Arizona in that way.

Most of the villas on our compound have pretty big back yards but ours had an addition put on at some point so our backyard is mostly terrace. As you can see in the picture of the ramp, it was an addition for a handicapped person so I am sure this ramp will be used for skating and scooter purposes if the truck ever clears customs.

The square of dirt that you see is also in our backyard and is going to have some grass or landscaping in it soon.

I am waiting to take pictures of the inside until our new furniture comes in another week or so.
