College of the Desert Street Fair (COD) was a very nice outing.

Where are we today ?

Catalina Spa RV Resort, Desert Hot Springs CA

          Perfect weather again, 65f at 5 am and getting warmer, how can you beat that?           We headed out to the College of the Desert Street Fair (COD) this morning shortly after 9 am. It been a couple of years since we have been there and with perfect weather a great outing.
          Free parking and a free shuttle from the parking areas and look around people watching mostly. Almost everything here is too expensive, (Palm Springs ya know) but we had fun walking about in the shade checking out all the stuff we don't need.

one of many FREE shuttles available

        We began walking probably a couple miles by the time we were done with over 300 vendors here. New this year is all the shade they have under these roofs. AND the roofs are created from solar panels, impressive to say the least.

entertainment here and there

everything you need if you want to pay the price

we did pick up some very nice cauliflower and asparagus
for a good price

live enteratinment in the food court was fun

            Lots of food choices here, whatever you want to eat. We choose to head back home, we have lots food there.

 but no "Tim Hortons Coffee " !

Back on the "free" trolley about 8 blocks to our car

       We had a nice outing, more local stuff and lotsa walking. Did not buy anything other some consumable fresh produce, just the way we like it. What do we need?
        After lunch a nice walkabout the resort and time my haircut. So clippers out and go all over my beard and hair, then Suzie did the final trimming. No more hat head!

nice red flowers in bloom

then with such a hot day a nice soft ice cream by the pool
only $1.00 each, hit the spot

       Now a bit more reading in the shade makes for a perfect afternoon. Soon time fire up our Weber Q, grill with some sweet potatoes, apple and cinnamon in foil.  Recipe on my recipe blog or click HERE. Added some tender sweet asparagus, sprayed with olive oil and a dash of sea salt. Only grill a couple minutes to warm it up.

sure hit the spot tonight

        Dinner done, garbage gone, a walkabout by the pool all nicely lit up a night. Such a beautiful warm evening.

the pool and hot tub look so nice and lit up

        Another fun day here in Southern California.

        Thanks for stopping by to join us, and if you can find us don't be afraid to stop on by. Oh, forgot to tell you are we relocating down the road in the morning to Desert Pools resort for a few days.
