Up early this morning and the first
shock is that Donald Trump will be the next president of the US.
Wow, what a shock.
We are off for an early hike today to
be done before it gets too hot.
We leave our place around 6:30, a
short drive to our hike starting point, then about a 2 hour hike.

| Our condo has the famous Purple Room where Frank, Sammy and Dean hung out in the 60's. Now a supper club |

| Our swanky condo! |

Beautiful views of the valley. We hike up by Bob Hope house that he
used for entertaining, what a gorgeous spot. The road up is private,
but on the hike you have some very nice views of this home, as well
as some other beautiful homes.

Back home and we stop for quick showers
then off to Gilles and Johns for a great breakfast.
After breakfast
we head out to visit some of Johns relatives, one of his Aunts is
leaving tomorrow.

| Street lined with beautiful palms |
 |
| Had to watch for speeding in this park, 1/2 mile is hard to judge |
From here we go for Date Shakes, and a taco at
their favourite spot. I had read that date shakes were a must, and
they knew the spot to go, yummy.

| Very yummy! |
We then headed off to Whitewater
which is an oasis a little out of town. They had never been there ,
it’s been fun to find places with them that they have never been
to. This would be a great place to come for a picnic on a hot day.

From here we head back to town, time
for a swim, then we will be off to friends of theirs for drinks and
out to supper with them. These friends were at Gilles and Johns
wedding earlier this summer
Really fun visit tonight, starting with
drinks at Benoit and Lionel condo in Palm Springs. From their home
we basically walk across the street to a restaurant with a fantastic
patio. This place is packed, a goldmine. Possibly the most
expensive burger and salad we have ever had, but we had a great night
visiting and chatting and basically closed the place
