In the middle of the desert? I'm afraid that's our best price.
Today, I stood on the San Andreas Fault at the Coachella Valley Preserve. Hello, little chuckwallas!
Then we went to the southern end of Joshua Tree National Park. Hello, you gorgeous jack rabbit! Both places were amazing.
We were back by 11:30 and it was already way too hot. Now, I love the desert. I'm one of those strange people who wouldn't mind living in the desert... but not here. Today's high was a moderate 106; our guide on the tour said it's not uncommon for it to be between 115 and 120 in the summer. That's just too hot for me.
However, I have a lovely tan in the making. It's impossible to avoid.
Tonight we're taking Hannah to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. We were also told we must go to In-n-Out Burger, so... we might. But probably not today. Tomorrow. Also on the docket for tomorrow is the obligatory time-share presentation, the desert museum, and maybe the Palm Springs Aerial Tram. We'll see how it goes.

The museum sounds interesting - it makes me curious how they've got it arranged.
I'm glad you've got easy access, I like reading your trip 'realtime' (sorta). :)
