Feb 16 Wed Day 30 rain overnight, overcast and sprinkles in morning but calm
We got up early to leave for the airport at about 8:45. The drive up was great. On hwy 10 there was a very strong tail wind and I just kept picking up speed. I took my foot off the gas and kept going at 100 MPH, (160 KPH) for quite a while, coasting, the hwy is dead straight, 4 lanes wide & not much traffic. We got to Palm Springs airport about 9:45, dropped off Paul then went over to Wal-Mart where Yvonne had something to return. Then Yvonne took us to a breakfast restaurant called Goodys and treated us to breakfast. I had an omelette which I would swear had to be 4 or 5 eggs it was so big. It was cheap too, most of their dishes were in the $4 to $6 range. After that we went to the CSA event; the information was stuff we already were mostly aware of but the entertainment was great, one man from Cape Breton Island and another man & wife couple that were ex Canadian TV stars, Ronnie Profit who someone in the park said is the brother of our local entertainer Tony Profit. We really enjoyed it. It ended around 3:30 after which we went to Shields Date Farm for a date shake and then back to hwy 10 & home. We ran into a lot of wind & rain so were really going slow, down to 100 KPH & less. We got back by 6PM and decided to get Chinese food from Mr You’s, a take-out/eat-in place that we discovered last year; it’s in the mall on the northeast side of Esplanade & Sanderson, (3.5kms from our site). For $6.19 I got enough for both of us with about a 1/3 of it left over, chow mien, beef & broccoli and orange chicken. Then we went over to Larry & Judy’s for a game of bridge to finish off the evening. A long walk, they are in site 518, one up from us.
