When I tell people we're going to Palm Springs, they ask what do we do there, since we're not golfers. I don't know, but the days seem to pass so quickly and pleasantly. We always do the same things, but John also good at finding something new each time. Tomorrow we're thinking about a guided hike at Tahquitz Canyon, that is, if we wake up with more ambition than we have this morning.
Yesterday we stopped at Thousand Palms Oasis, a nature preserve in the Coachella Valley. It sits directly on the San Andreas Fault, one of the best known and menacing geological features in the world. In the middle of the desert, the fault is the source of the rare surface water, creating a stunning natural oasis full of plant and animal diversity.
We are staying now just a few blocks from downtown Palm Springs, and had a nice vegetarian pizza for our early dinner, along with the families and old people. We noticed the party crowd were just finishing up their breakfast.
Unfortunately, there's a high wind warning for today, so I think we'll go to Shield's Date Garden this afternoon. Just another la-di-da day.
