Palm Springs

PALM SPRINGS TRIP

DAY ONE


I started to write about our trip but decided to just show you guys some of the images of what was a very fun two day trip.















Three hours into our trip we got hungry, we opted to stop at the "Spotlight 29" casino, were we enjoyed a great lunch buffet in a super nice and relaxing environment.

The Ford F-100 pictured here is going to make some one a very, very happy winner. I love these fat fendered old Fords.


An awesome truck such as this 1956 Ford F-100 needs an even better model, and I found the perfect candidate. (((Fiuuu, fiuuuu)))

I always wondered where the Palm Springs tram was at and since we had to wait for an hour for our room to be ready we drove around town and to the trams location. The tram is in some sort of a canyon and it's dark in there. I was standing there when one of the trams too off, by the time it's almost to the top all you can see is a little dot.


Wow, my model just makes everything look good. Here she is posing right next to an old tram.

These are a couple of images from the Tram Station. See the little hiking trail going up the mountain in the second picture. We were doing just fine until mi chica read in a sign that there were rattle snakes there and not to disturb them. Needless to say that was pretty much the end of our hike. She's like are you crazy, I am wearing sandals.


A fellow tourist saw me taking pictures and kindly volunteer to take one of mi chica and I.













The tram area was very interesting and beautiful. Coming back into the town to take possession of our room we kept smelling this smoke like smell, sometimes it smelled like BBQ and sometimes like tar. It was weird. We finally got to the hotel and by this time our room was ready. As you can imagine we had to get ready fast because the first thing in the agenda would be... yep, you guessed it, the casino.


View from our room on the fourth floor. To use the elevator we had to insert our key, that's something I had never had to do before.


This is a view of the hotel. "Spa Casino Resort". A little pricey but very confortable.



We closed the night by going to the casino again. After a great buffet dinner that included of all things carne asada tacos complete with Mexican salsas to a shrimp stir fry put together by none other than mi chica and cooked right in front of her by one of the cooks. A plethora of deserts and some of the best tasting coffee and we were ready to go "lose" some more money.

It was a long day, we saw more than we thought possible and all in all it was a fun day, since I had drank quite a few .98 cent Margaritas I was ready to rest. The plan for tomorrow is to go to a nearby town about 50 milies away for breakfast.


Wow! There's that model again...
I wonder if she is following me,
Maybe she likes me.
