Palm Springs

Thurs Dec 12 I have left the cold and snow of Calgary and after a 3 hour fight landed in the heat and beauty of Palm Springs.
 
I love the azaleas here. So colorful. I arrived on Thursday and managed to get a ride from the airport to Ken and Karen's. I walked down to Palm Canyon Drive and had lunch at King's Highway. Okay but not the best. Then back to the home and waited til Karen got back from work. The next morning I arose early only to find my bike would not start. I don't think the accessory plug is working to do a charge. So I took the bike apart. Found the battery and changed the program on the charger and walked away. Walked 4 miles round trip. Shades of Europe. Walked to Smoke Tree Plaza and had a lovely turkey sandwich at Smokin Burgers. Getting back I went to the bike. Things did not look very different so I unplugged and plugged back in and low and behold it started. So I got it out and parked in the carport. The next day I headed for Indio and visited with Jane and Gary my niece from Sundre. They are staying in a beautiful place called Worldpark Indio. We went over to the Spotlight 29 casino and they bought tickets to the Oakridge Boys. and we had lunch at the buffet. I would have loved to go to the Oakridge Boys but I had promised Karen I wou7ld go to the dog races with her the next day and we had to leave early for Brea.
Finally got my photo of Hotel California just around the corner.
More Azaleas on my walk.
Slingshot 29 casino.
Jane and Gary
The next day Karen kept me busy at Brea at the oval track dog racing. The whippets did well . I was going to leave this morning but decided to stick around for one more day. I will head out tomorrow for Palo Verde and Trish and Oxbow Lake.
