Going Away Party

All the people on our street had a block party as we are all leaving soon. There was 4 types of chilli served along with salads. It's sort of like leaving summer camp and saying good bye to all the friends you made.

Algodones

Yesterday I ran off with the neighbour lady to Algodones Mexico. This is the entry to Mexico. You can walk over and no one checks you, just a straight walkway in.

I had my dental work done there for 10% of what it would be in Canada, and also got new glasses with sunglasses and bi-focals for $125.00. (Including the eye exam). Dixie got new lenses for her glasses plus another set.

While we waited for the glasses to be ready we went to lunch at a lovely outdoor restaurant with a live band and good Mexican food. Here's one of the back alley shops we went through. We also went to a grocery store with 8 tasting stations with 5 different drinks on each and were back home by dinner.

Kings and Queens

After we got back to Palm Springs we started with the Tour de Palm Springs bicycle race. We knew several of the over 7,ooo entrants. There were different length courses.

Roy went to the Renaissance Fare in Palm Springs. Had a lovely time. Carol ordered the more boosomy pictures removed so we're stuck with this one.

Then March came in with Roy's birthday. Older but not wiser?

Some of our friends from the Okanagan, along with cousins Ernie and Joni from Delta.

Roy took Ernie and Joni to the Greek Festival. There was lots of Greek food to try as well as Greek dances and displays. Roy met Bill and Lillian Vanderzalm there and had a visit with them.

Now for the Kings. When Roy was at the Greek festival, Carol went to LA to see a Kings versus Canucks game.

To make it more even the Canucks had to play on their knees, and they still beat them. Really they are practicing here.

Dave went with her and the place was over 50% Canuck jerseys in the crowd. Tomorrow is a Canucks versus Ducks game in Anaheim and there are 5 buses going in from here full of Canuck fans.
