Palm Springs is located in California and is home to some of the most natural lemon tree's around. The city literally smells like lemons and hot air. It would be a great place to retire to just like my grandparents friends had. The city is mostly full of elders and very few younger people but the atmosphere is pleasant and people are very kind there.
We spent majority of the time lounging around the pool, eating old people food (bran muffins) and walking around. My grandparents took us out to one of the golf course neighborhoods, this is where all the extremely rich people live in Palm Springs. The community is surrounded by many gold courses with little houses nestled in between the grasses, all of the places are held together so very perfectly.
Another great thing i encountered on my vacation was thrift stores. I have always loved thrift stores because they have really great stuff that people seem to find bad and they give them to the shop owner. When i move out all the things that i find in the thrift store are going to go into my home. I got a couple sweaters from Universities i don't go to (for the laughs) and some cool knick knacks here and there that are treasurable. They say that someone's just is someone else's treasure.
Overall i had a really relaxing vacation and did not much but sleep and eat. It was well worth the time that i needed.
Wow Mike, leave it to you (and karsten, last year) to spend their spring break surrounded by old people. I myself would have really enjoyed your holiday. I love the feeling of being in a new city without anything urgent to do, and just wandering around town checking out all the shops and people. I think that Palm Springs is an underrated holiday spot, by the sounds of it, and reminds me a bit of Osoyoos. A town filled with elderly trying to escape winter and surrounded by mountains. Did you bring home any lemons? Who did you go with besides your mom? However; I dont know if I'd want to spend two weeks there. As manyo f you already know I can get a bit jumpy and excited so I dont know if a small town, with no friends of mine, would be the best spring break location for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time, I wish my spring break was as relaxing as yours. I never would of thought that palm springs would be mostly houses. I assumed that there would be lots of tall buildings, you described it very well. I also agree with Marina, it does remind me of Osoyoos. I wish I could leave Osoyoos in the winter but we have school.
