2010 Review: California

Hiking in Indian Canyons

In February Peter attended a workshop in Santa Barbara for a couple of weeks and we went with him. Diana met up with us for a week and we spent a fab time going to Sephora among other fine retail establishments, shopping at Whole Foods and discovering the Jessica Darling series (ask me about Marcus Flutie).

We went off to Palm Springs for a couple of days when Peter had finished his work. Palm Springs is a really funky desert town. Lovely and warm, even in February! Calum & I  got to swim in the hotel pool. And we went hiking into Palm Canyon, Murray Canyon and we also made a trip to Joshua Tree. It was Calum's first real hiking experience (he seemed to enjoy the experience): he's such a little trooper. loved deserts and hiking in them since we went to Utah a couple of years ago. I really feel the need to spend more time in deserts - it's almost a spiritual thing for me. Too bad I don't deal well with the heat and sunburn so easily.
