Mariah-Rae's backyard is a little piece of paradise close to downtown Austin. The pool/hot tub is great, and I'm really disappointed I didn't get to take advantage of them while I was in town! I loved waking up and seeing all of the birds in her backyard and hearing the water from the pool. Mariah-Rae made sure I felt at home by leaving some homemade salsa in the fridge, showing me how to turn on the waterfall in the pool, and letting me know that some flowers in her yard were in bloom/worth smelling. I'll definitely try to stay at Mariah's place again when I'm in town!
