Escape to Palm Springs

Had a wonderful month in the sun, although a little too hot for my taste. Next year, one month later!



Dos amigos y dos amigas!


Viewpoint stop on the way to Idellwyld (?)


In the mountains above Palm Springs


Enjoying one of the fifty-six pools in the country club


Every hour was 'happy hour'


Great view of the course and the mountains from our back patio


Phil stopping for liquid refreshments in the middle of his golf game


After-the-walk patio time


We went for our walk very early every morning in order to avoid the extreme heat - 100+ degrees for all of September.



Aptly-names Big Bear Restaurant somewhere on the way home

Side Trip to Las Vegas from Palm Springs

Believe it or not, this is a McDonald's - it even had real flowers on the tables!
