Back in the Midwest (11/30/23 – 12/1/23)

Bob and I had a great last evening in PalmSprings on Thursday night. They had free entrance to their art museum from 5-8pm, so we took the opportunity to explore their exhibits.

Our favorite exhibit. Very eye-catching right in the lobby.
It’s called 80 by artist Anthony James.
The museum has exhibits on 3 levels — all on display in this shot. There is also a basement level with a theater and classrooms.
Nossia, 1999, by Anselm Kiefer, a German artist
Cluster#15 (which is ironic ‘cause to me it looked like a lot of 8s),
1971, by Ed Garman.

After we were done at the art museum, we went up to the top (floor 7) of the Rowan Hotel for dinner and drinks and to check out the view of downtown Palm Springs from above. Seven floors up is about as high as it gets in Palm Springs.

They served some great tapas.

We then walked through the festive Villagefest that was also being held that night.

It was hopping!

We flew out a little after noon on Friday and arrived back into Minneapolis about 7:30 pm. Our bags were unloaded quickly (almost never happens) and then we had an easy ride on the blue line rail line from our terminal and a one block walk to the hotel from the Mall of America stop. Very convenient!
