Another day of getting our steps in – yay!  Off to a late start today what with futzing about after sleeping in.  Decided to go check out the El Paseo Shopping District in Palm Desert.  This street is known as the “Rodeo Drive of the desert.”  Beautifull!.  Lots of flowers, grass, street art, high end shops and restaurants.

Just along the street ...

Ran across this in an alley (chalk provided if you wanted to fill in a line)

We spotted an interesting building on our way to downtown Palm Springs yesterday so decided to try to find it and see what it was.  By the time we found it we were almost in Palm Springs and when we made the turn off the highway to go up the hill we were faced with multiple No Trespassing signs and signs saying there were cameras  and guards up ahead.  So much for that plan!  Since we were so close, we decided to go back to the downtown and explore more of the area.

Friends suggested we try going to Jackalope Ranch so we decided to stop by on our way home.  What a fabulous spot and only 4 miles from the resort.
