Blessings #2

Time is already flying as we are having a great time here in the desert. Another blessing for us as we do our best to relax and enjoy each other's company.

We did spend a bunch of yesterday driving around and doing some shopping. Prices here are really not much better than in Canada. Figure this one out...... they have all sorts of sweaters, heavy fleece items, gloves and toques. We asked a cashier about it and she said it gets cold here, like in the low 60's (not celcius!)

We took time yesterday to go up the Palm Springs Tram. the valley floor where we are at must be under 1000 ft above sea level and the tram took us to 8516 ft. The picture below shows all the coniferous trees up there. They said it is like going from Mexico to Alaska in ten minutes up the tram. The scenery at the top looked a lot like our beloved Alberta! The scenery into the valley was awesome! At the top is was a balmy 13 c or 56 f. Nice for Alberta!!

The photo above was yesterday morning enjoying breakfast on our villa patio! It is a blessing being here!
