Our friends from Missouri, who winter in Palm Springs, were very happy to see us and they had fun things planned for our stay. We played golf at two beautiful courses -- Silverstone Golf Club on Wednesday (a PGA course) and Terra Lago North on Friday. Both days were quite warm. We did not play our best golf but we sure enjoyed the afternoons. We paid for the twilight rate both afternoons and just barely finished 18 holes at Silverstone and had to stop after 17 holes at Terra Lago due to darkness. We ate dinner out both of those days and had some very good meals.
Thursday morning we hiked up Tahquitz Canyon. It was a moderately strenuous hike up to a lovely waterfall. This area was originally settled by the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians and evidence of their complex community are still in evidence along the trail. That afternoon, while John worked on the computer, I went shopping. For dinner, we had reservations at The Zin, An American Bistro. This is our very favorite place to dine while we are here and that meal was no exception! It was a fair and warm evening, perfect for a stroll along the boulevard street fair.
When we left Palm Springs this morning the temperature was already nearing the 80° mark. We drove south thru El Centro and then into the mountains near the US/Mexico border to Boulevard, CA where we are spending the night. Since we are over 3500 feet elevation, the temperature here was 67° when we arrived and is at 34° as I am writing this blog. Quite a change from what we have gotten used to. We only have about 20 miles to go tomorrow to meet up with Harvest Host and our caravan for the Wine and Whales Tour in the north part of the Baja, Mexico.

You couldn’t design a better golf course – or a better backdrop to the game – than the Mayakoba Golf course. Proof: http://bit.ly/zpporT
