Here is a list of little things that are different and interesting:

There is a very confused rooster somewhere on this hill that crows all day long.

Most days we have slept until 9 or 9:30am instead of the usual 7am!

You can’t open any of the doors to the house from the outside because there are no handles.  Even the front door can only be opened with a key.

We park on the roof of our house.

All the bathrooms have bidets, but their location in the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms is swapped, making choosing the correct receptacle in the middle of the night a bit of a challenge.

I saw a grasshopper as big as the ones I dissected in high school!  At first I thought it was a defective hummingbird.

Guardrails, even on the most steep of mountain switchbacks, are apparently optional here.  (Yikes!)

The first thing we smelled when we walked out on the patio was jasmine.  Glorious!

Trash is collected daily after 8 pm.

We measured the grade of the hill you go up to get to our house.  It is 25 degrees in many places!!
