I’m starting to think the self-timer on my iPhone is not my friend. The coloring and clarity aren’t happening for me. Ugh. So anyway. . .

Palm Springs is really close to Rancho Mirage, roughly a twenty-minute drive. So, I decided to explore the downtown and all it had to offer! I love checking out museums, so the Palm Springs Art Museum was a must-see. It is located across the street from the park where the famous Marilyn Monroe statue is housed.

The Marilyn statue is a busy spot! I never did get a clear photo of the statue. There were constantly people around, plus it was really hot. I don’t know how people live in the desert, when the temperature goes over ninety degrees, I melt. But I digress. . .

Despite the heat, downtown Palm Springs was really busy and crowded. I guess it was because it was Coachella weekend and it was a Saturday. I think this is a place I should revisit on a weekday when it is less crowded. That being said, it was a nice downtown and I enjoyed seeing the art, shops, and restaurants. I highly recommend visiting! Maybe just on a less busy day.

For dinner, I went back to the hotel to enjoy a meal at Pinzimini inside the Westin. The food was so good! This salmon tartare appetizer, and the risotto entree were my favorite dishes on the menu. Yum! And yes, that is a mocktail, no alcohol.

After dinner, the temperature cooled down, so I switched into jeans and took a walk around the grounds. The sunset was really pretty, offering shades of pink and purple. It was a relaxing evening and exactly what I needed.

Thanks for stopping by!
