Mahesh is such an awesome guy! His two dogs (Browny and Blacky) are the cutest and so loving, it was hard to say goodbye! We had a great time cooking all together, and the nearby beach is great to practice surfing for beginners. We mainly helped painting and cleaning up a bit, can't wait for it to be finished up and crowded with guests!
