After the sun went down, we went around the area we’re staying in and decided to drool at some of the houses. One thing I’ve decided is to get Mangalore tiles for my roof when I build my house! – A few house pictures Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Travel
