Back from Palm Springs.

We had a lot of fun. Palm Springs is absolutely beautfiul right now , at this time of year. 2 days we were there, weather was really beautiful. Nice and sunny. The highest was 99 degrees- I think. First day we went to Indian Canyons-Palm Canyon, Andreas Canyon and Murray canyon. The sceenery is beautiful , breathtaking. We did lot of walking and took lots of pictures, but there is something wrong with my camera and lot of the good shots have pinkish sky or glow to them.

On Thursday we did a l o t of walking. To much , I think. At firs we Took the 15 minutes ride with worlds largest rotating tramcars at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway from bottom of the hill to the top of the hill. Again, the view we had from the tram, and from the top of the mountains were breathtaking. It was so peaceful and calming. Nature, snow, trees- hiking trails and we hikers. My soul was feed. :)

Then, after 3 hours in mountains we went to Living Desert ZOo and Gardens. WOW, botanical Gardens were in full bloom. It was different kind of good experiense under hot desert sun. Cactuses, butterflies, wild cats, giraffes- all together, under one roof. lol. Within its 1200 acres youwill discover over 450 desert animals and more than 150 species including coyotes, oryx, zebras etc. It was really beautiful.

We were soooo tired in the end of the day that even coffee did not keep my husband awake. He fell asleep while drinking his hot starbucks. hehe

We had made plans to go out and eat Las Casuelas Terraza, because on the previous night we went out and had margaritas there( thank you Kathy for recommending that place) My husband , who hates hates hates coctails had one of their strongest margarita was changed man after drinking it. So we went to go eat there , but we had no idea that on thursdays there are these HUGE street fares with HUGE mass of people and the traffic is pretty much shot down and there is nowhere to park. So instead of Las Casuelas we went to Casino close buy and their food was ok.
Now we are back home, tired, but happy and I am extremely glad that we did this trip before our St Jude trip. I feel more positive and energized and happy. Now let s hope that ST jude provides us with the happiest news possible and the time there will fly by as fast as possible. :)

Pictures will be added later- I have to do some serious editing to get the pink glow out of the pics. :)
