For those of you who don’t know, Palm Springs has what it calls an Aerial Tramway. The gondolas take visitors to an altitude of more than 8500 feet. The floors within the gondolas rotate 360 degrees and complete two full rotations during the eleven minute ascent. What will they think of next?
The entire Tramway was re-vamped in 2000, but the sign at the bottom of the mountain remains untouched. It’s nice that some things never change.
The picture on the left is a bird’s eye view of Palm Springs. On the right, the Sentinels of the valley floor live in Wind Farms. They are very impressive when viewed from their level. From here, they look like toothpicks.
Had lunch at Mariposas in Palm Springs. Good Mexican fare. The menu included Ceviche Mariposa. I thought ceviche was supposed to be seafood… I liked the fountain on Palm Canyon Drive.
Much to my astonishment, KnuckleHeadQ has now accused me of using the same orchid picture in each of the last two posts. First he calls the orchid plastic, now he calls me deceptive. Whatever shall we do with him?
On the way back from Palm Springs, I stopped at Trader Joe’s Market and snapped a photo of my orchid’s brothers, sisters, cousins and kinfolk. Traders always has a great variety from which to choose.
Still no change in my orchid’s flowers. But that larger bloom you see there is the oldest, so she’ll be the first to go.
