Sorry I haven’t updated this page recently, but I don’t have internet access at home yet.
This last week has been so busy. Last Monday I met up with my colleague Diana and her friend in New York. We had dinner, went up to the observation tower at the Rockefeller Centre, and then managed a few beers afterwards. The view from the observation tower was amazing as we got there just in time for sunset. In case you haven’t seen enough pictures of the New York skyline, I have added a few more at the bottom.
Tuesday morning I left the East coast and headed for La Quinta. After stopping briefly in Phoenix, I landed in Palm Springs around 2.30pm. Whilst waiting for my luggage I went outside, and the heat was amazing. It was 38C!!! I then picked up a car and drove about 30 minutes to La Quinta. My first couple of nights were in the hotel at a country club, and then thanks to a colleague, I managed to find a small house to rent for 3 months. It is now the off season as soon it will get really hot, so I managed to get the house very cheaply. The house is also on the country club, but don’t be shocked, as La Quinta doesn’t consist of much else. The house I found has a patio at the back which is right on the fairway for the 2nd hole of the Royal golf course. There are 2 ducks which always seem to be waddling around, and come up to the gate to see me :-) There are three 9 hole courses on the complex, and it is so beautiful and green. La Quinta is also stunning as it is in the valley and is surrounded by mountains. Here is the link to the country club, and I have also added a few pictures above www.indianpalms.com
My colleagues seem very nice, and I have been out drinking a couple of times with them. There is great bar called the Beer Hunter which has about 50 TV screens which just have sport on all the time. On Saturday we went there for the Mayweather v De La Hoya fight. The place was packed, but as soon as the fight was over, everyone disappeared. After that we went to a Karaoke bar. It was so nice to finally go out drinking without having to drive home.
That’s it for now, and I will try and update the blog soon.
