livin' and playin' in the desert


Playing the course on our resort, a beautiful view from everywhere on the course. We are playing about every second day and loving it! We played a neighbouring course on Wednesday, the Road Runner. A little 18 hole par 3 next door that was a great short game course much like Langley Golf course at home.

This is what Larry looks like after golf!! note the dotted and spotted rump beside him on the floor!


We had dinner last night at the Crazy Coyote Bar and Grill at the Palms Hotel here. It is very art deco, built originally in 1947, burned down in 56 and rebuilt. In its heyday it was the spot that the stars flew into in their own planes to get away from crowds, one being Marilyn Monroe and also our Canadian Raymond Burr. This is how it still is in Borrego, a place to avoid traffic lights, overcrowding and fast pace. Their website has photos on it but it actually is neater in person than the photos show. I would stay there in a minute. Here is the website http://www.thepalmsatindianhead.com/

We were there with Brenda and Barry, from Victoria, and Susan and Bob from Washington state and Pete from Northern California. Great food, great presentation and very reasonably priced martinis and wine. I hope to go a few more times before leaving here.

I am going to cycle to town now as we have done our water aerobics this morning already, I hope to find a bathing suit and one store has a good selection I have noticed. Karl has a playdate at 3:30 with Bojo, his best buddy down here.

There was a wine and cheese party on Thursday night here as there is one every Thursday night, Garvie brought his guitar and there was some harmonizing going on which Larry joined in on as he has the voice in this family!

Wish you all could be here, keep it in mind as the trailers are already here to rent!
