Well, slightly sadsies today, having to leave Palm Springs. We hung around as long as we possibly could until the maid said “Check out is 11:00! Get the hell out!”
We reluctantly left our beautiful resort and made our way to Las Vegas. Surprisingly navigating the freeway traffic was not a problem and we only had one slowdown when we encountered some road construction in San Bernadino. For a region that is so car-centric as Southern California, their freeways are surprisingly ugly and rough. Once we got out of the big city and closer to the desert the roads became much smoother, although the landscape was quite monotone.

I did notice one interesting anomalie: The BMW 7 Series seems to be very popular here. I saw a total of 8 of them on our drive between San Bernadino and Vegas (about a 2 hour period) and all of them going the same way (TO Vegas). I thought that was kind of odd. Saw quite a few Crossfires too, but less than 8 for the whole trip.
