Today is Don’s 73rd birthday.

We woke up in our cabana at El Castillo Del Sol in Palm Springs, California. From our bed, we can see the pool and woke up to blue skies and warm temperatures. It fit’s the bill. Yesterday we drove 500 plus miles through the rain, over mountain passes and arrived to 80 degree weather here in Southern California. Barb had rented this place for a week. The house is owned by a man from Seattle and he rents out 2 of the wings. It is a funky, eclectic home from the 1930’s with Hope/Crosby/LaMour as neighbors in old Palm Springs. We have a little kitchen, use of the pool and hot tub. And all the grapefruit we want. Last night was VillageFest in Old Town with lots of booths with crafts, dates and funky California stuff.
(We are still in California and we’re already 1800 miles into our trip.)
