Waiting for our flight yesterday morning at Palm Springs International Airport was still laid-back, although everything is changing.
The pleasant open air atrium was under construction. They took out the seating and Chihuly art to make room for a new bar and grill. They're also opening a clothing store in the outdoor area behind where I was relaxing above. So, a different scene when we go back again.
We had fun as always, but will find a different place to stay. The new Lucille Inn was OK, but we missed the lush grounds of the magical old Andalusian. With the trees and hedges cut back, the pool area was hot and bright with lots of competition for umbrella shade. Couples staked out their chaises right after breakfast.
Hopefully, they allow some of greenery to grow back. But as I already mentioned, it was unforgivable to paint the 100-year old flagstone floors ugly black-- and already chipping off.
Goodness, it was cold when we got home and it took the furnace forever to warm up the house again. I pulled some chili out of the freezer and went to bed early.
We went to an afternoon Symphony concert this afternoon. Violin "superstar" Ray Chen playing Korngold's Concerto in D Major. A nice end a week of vacation. This weekend, nothing but relaxation and laundry.
