Lazy Day

Borrego Springs, California: We had great plans for our day, but it was so windy this morning we just stayed in (hunkered down), thinking we could golf in the afternoon. Not. We ran a few errands, shipped books and finally decided to not golf at all. It was good to have a day to relax - we have been going on over-drive for two weeks.

Borrego Springs is a teeny little village. Here is the supermarket.
Just the basics, but we found everything on our list (beer, milk, dinner napkins).

If you are interested... I snapped quite a few photos of the RV resort. When we stayed here two years ago, everything was shiny and new. Now, it actually looks better. Perfectly maintained, fully-staffed and the landscape has grown quite a bit.

The Clubhouse: fitness center, reading/card room, meeting room with full kitchen and fireplace, bath facilities, laundry, complete recycling center (!!!), swimming pool and FOUR spas. One spa is large for groups and they also have three cozier hot tubs. The water is from their own natural hot spring.

Again tonight, dark clouds gathered, but no rain (yet)


We have a lemon tree on our campsite - DT picked this one for our cocktails.

We went into town for dinner at one of the favorite local hang-outs, Carlee's. Part bar, part family-dining, Carlee's turns out burgers, steaks, fish, sandwiches and even pizza. The food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Prices are pretty reasonable, considering we are in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it was very nice and clean and we had great service.

Fried Chicken special: the circled piece is a leg.
It was SO small, I thought it was part of a chicken wing!


DT had a burger with Ortega chile

We will re-think golfing again tomorrow. Or not. Until my next update, I remain, your windy correspondent.
