Monday Blues #51
Good morning! How was your weekend? I had a fabulous weekend and got a lot of things done! After giving my last final on Saturday morning B and I headed to Palm Desert to adopt a new friend. Can you see the little bit of snow in the mountains back there? I love this view and I think I have photographed it a million times, but I just can't ever get enough.
No, not another furry friend, we came to get "Phil" B's new mountain bike. After months of searching and hearing about all the different kinds of "components" etc, we finally found his bike @ Velo Bum in Rancho Mirage! It is a Felt Mountain Bike, I don't know much about bikes, when I chose mine, I was more interested in the color and cuteness factor. Thank goodness, B knows his stuff!
After we got Phil we headed to our favorite Tapas Bar in Palm Spring: AZUL I love coming here because they have a great patio lounge and tasty tapas. We love fried calamari, no pic because we inhaled it! Palm Springs has such a friendly community, you can't find this vibe everywhere, that's why we love it here so much. This gentleman above is one of the many nice folks here, I loved his style.
I usually don't want weekends to end, this one was particularly fun. But now, I can't wait for our next adventure. What are you excited about this week?

I have been to Palm Springs. It is nice!
I would not tire taking photos of that lovely view either.
I got a new bike too!
I love that gentleman's hat! The other day my mom and I were doing our normal grocery shopping when this tall man wearing an eccentric hat walked by. It made our day! Not a lot of people have the guts to wear clothes like that nowadays.
Great photos!! Just wanted to stop by and say! I have not been commenting on lots of blogs but I'm trying to make my way around to everyone blog this week!
Love the last photo best!!! paradise!!
Mojitos at the beach!!
Palm Springs sounds and looks like such a great place. I love tapas..., non where I live though! And the mountain views are just gorgeous.
Sounds like fun! My mom and dad live there for most of the year and now they are headed back north to Seattle after hanging out with us in the Bay Area for the past week. Congrats on your finals!
Your post made me want to go to Palm Springs. I haven't been there in ages.
