The Parker Palm Springs

Wow!!
I love this place.
I love the humor here - you have to go to their web site and see a few of their videos. They capture the feel of this place - FUN!! Classy FUN!!
I want to stay here - next time we visit.

And the Food at Normas was seriously delicious!! The service outstanding!! The surroundings - well I had to make myself put down the camera and eat. We picked a perfect morning to eat on the patio.
Such friendly people!

So here are a few photos. Just a few, I wish we had another hour to explore and I would love to have seen INSIDE Gene Autry's home but, well someone was staying there. Even resisted peeking in the windows.

On the way out David said "That was better then Ripleys 'Believe it or Not' "

I couldn't agree more!!

Palm Springs Living Zoo

Had a great four hours at the Living Zoo today. Lots of walking, lots of warm sunshine, lots of interesting vegetation and some very interesting animals. Unfortunately the Cheetah would not make an appearance and the camels were not there but the giraffe's were quite remarkable. That Giraffe is 19 feet tall!! A rattler behind glass was the only place we wanted to see one. And the carousel was the hit of the day - go figure. :)
