Windmills and The Artist Shag Gallery

We wanted to visit the wind farm, so we pulled up at the Palm Springs Windmill Tours visitors center. We were told that because we hadn’t booked a tour, we could not view their exhibits and video. They offer golf cart guided tours and self driving tours driving your own car through the wind farm. The golf cart tour sounded like fun so we put this on our list of things to do at a later time.
We’re curious to find out why a large portion of the windmills aren’t even rotating, and how much energy the whole farm actually produces. Later, on our way to visit The Shag Store in Palm Springs, Martin’s camera battery pooped out. Har har, he had a spare battery pack with him, but no Allen Wrench to remove the camera mount! So we quickly found an ACE hardware store – whoa, in Palm Springs they have a lot more stuff than in L.A. - more desert design and lifestyle merchandise. Very chic. Then off to The Shag Store (where we had missed the opening party yesterday because of the storm). Shag wasn’t there, but his images were super fun. That evening, we had a good swim in the pool and a selfie session in the jacuzzi, capping it off with Mexican food which our friend Cinnia brought back to our “home.”Read more
