Here's John, checking out the structural integrity of Marilyn Monroe in downtown Palm Springs yesterday. He says she could use an earthquake upgrade ;-) You have to wait your turn with the other tourists to get a photo op-- she's a popular gal.
We found a first rate contemporary art museum in Palm Springs, just around the corner from Marilyn.
Many interesting objects, glass, native American art and sculpture.
Some amazingly realistic "people." I walked right by this couple.
Here's my G-rated photo of an entrancing lady. I had to drag John away ;-)
After that excitement, a walk at Moorten Botanical Garden. We went there on a previous visit, and not many people seem to know about this hidden gem right in Palm Springs. Of course we both went crazy taking pictures of cacti.
And on the way home, a final stop at Cabot's Museum in Desert Hot Springs and a visit to the art gallery there.
The original Mr. Cabot was sort of an endearing crackpot (he slept in a room full of rattlesnakes) who built himself a rambling hacienda on a hill in Desert Hot Springs.
And last but not least...a mineral pool swim. The weekend people have all left, so we have Lido Palms almost to ourselves this morning. I have a waku? water massage appointment at 10. More on that later.
