Coachella Valley Part 1

Here's a photo tour of our journeys:

The weekly Palm Springs street fair:




Lily got a chance to hold a Ball Python at one of the vendors was "wearing".


Lily was having a hard time sticking with us at the fair, and needed to have a heart to heart with Mom. Had to capture the facial expression and posture.


The kids both had a squirt bottle for the 105+ heat. Jack used it more on other people than himself.


This guy has been playing here for the last 10 years or more. He's got this great routine with an electric strings synth and loop machine/effects box.


This guy is John. The return of the old school salesman-showman. He put on a great magic show for the kids before making his pitch to the parents for a pack of children's magic tricks.


This guy has to be 5'10" and at least 240 pounds. An amazing breakdancer, especially for his size.








An org that rescues horses in the valley had a couple large draft horses at the fair. Lily got a kick out of feeding them carrots. Here's Cara taking her turn.


Salton Sea. Has a Hollywood-like past, but for the last many years has been slowly dying as the salt level in the water is rising year after year. Here's Cara and Lily looking at a skeleton of a Tilapia.


Despite the salt levels, apparently the Tilapia fishing is still quite good. There's no limit, and these folks had caught dozens by lunch time.


More to come on this odd so-cal site. Salvation Mountain marks the entrance of Slab City as seen in the movie, Into the Wild.
