Hi Folks:
Our second day in Palm Springs was really fun. It was a lazy day by and large. Steve went for a bike ride – the bike which was rented from a local company that dropped it off right at our location. Then we explored Palm Springs a little bit by going for a walk along the main drag – kind of a tourist trap affair, much like Robson Street in Vancouver. Really nice stores and I wanted to buy a lot of stuff, but managed to refrain. They also have a small “Walk of Fame” a’la Grumman’s Chinese Theatre in LA, where the sidewalk is embedded with stars commemorating famous local people, many of which are recognizable stars such as Frank Sinatra and the like.
After that we went to the water slide park, which you’ve seen a clip of already, here. Had another Meet ‘n’ Greet at the resort then went out for dinner at a local Italian restaurant.
This time of year the weather is very hot, so I can’t imagine what it would be like in the high heat of summer. It was quite enjoyable for us, but might be too much if it were any hotter. The people are really nice here, very laid back, and the town has a fairly easy going vibe.
Might have to come back here again.
