Feb 5 - changing location

Today we transitioned from chilly just-above-freezing Lake Elsinore to warm t-shirt-weather Palm Springs. It was really gratifying to see the car reporting an increased outside temperature the closer we got to Palm Springs.

We parked the car close to the tourist strip, and moseyed around. Took our sweatshirts off, exposing our t-shirts. Had lunch. Bought some more t-shirts (as if we had a shortage of those...).

And then we checked into our new hotel.

It didn't take us too long before Stephen was aiming for the swimming pool. I joined him poolside, with a book and some knitting.

Here is Stephen in the pool

Here is a fake palm tree / cell phone tower by the pool. They're pretty good a blending into the surroundings. We have also seen a fake spruce tree / cell phone tower. That would work better in a place like Calgary!

So many times we see important signs just a bit too late. Not that this applied to us, but we only saw this sign as we were leaving the pool area.

So, all in all, it was a very restful day. My knees like days like this. Tomorrow, though, I think that the plan is for some more walking.
