Mid-90's Fahrenheit

It's in the mid-90's. I'm sorry that I cannot give that in Celsius, as I have weak mental math calculation skills. I'd not need to work with such big numbers in Vancouver, anyhow. Whatever, dude. It's nice sitting here in the shade by one of the pools and occasionally running in for a dip. Drying off is very cooling.

Earlier today, we went up the Palm Springs Tramway. The temperature at the top of the mountain required jackets. The cars rotate, so one can have two 360 degree views on the way up or down. At the top, we hiked a little trail through an alpine meadow and even made a snowball. It's hard to believe we could see the area of the valley where I'm now baking.

Tomorrow we might head into Joshua Tree National Park. We'll see as it comes.
