Renaissance Festival in Palm Springs

Today we went up to the clubhouse for breakfast, and took a wee look at the small market up there, Wendy was selling her jewelry. Then we went over to Caliente RV Resort on Dillon Road, another nice development on a golf course, and they had a big market day set up there, lots of things to see.

Lary bought a key holder made of wood, Di bought earrings, (what's new?) and some very nice cards.

Then we went down to Palm Springs, to the Renaissance Festival in the heart of Palm Springs,it is such a neat weekend, with tons of people dressed up in costumes and having a blast. Bands, maidens, royalty, knights, lords, ladies, wenches. Children frolicking in the warm sunshine. Such a mellow time indeed. Children riding on donkeys, food concessions, so much fun. A man with some big parrots, ladies with mice and rats. Yuck. Bosoms galore, such sights to be seen. And men in kilts, forgot to mention that, lots of them. Some cotton kilts, some woolen ones.

Home after we did a bit of shopping, tomorrow we leave for Las Vegas for 5 nights in the truck, leaving the trailer here in the park.

We had ribs at the clubhouse, a very popular dinner there, and it was packed. It was very windy in the evening with dust swirling around, and a weird kind of low cloud too, hanging over the Coachella Valley. Now at 9:30 PM it's a still as can be.

Temps in Las Vegas look as if they are going to be quite a bit cooler than here. We will likely do a lot of walking, that is what gets you around fastest there.

We bought patterns to make medieval costumes, not sure when we'll do that, but fun to dream a bit, and maybe even challenge ourselves, too.

That was our Saturday, not sure if we will be posting from Las Vegas or not. TTFN.
