After a nearly sleepless night in the otherwise lovely Pepper Tree Inn we were transferred to another room with better design, and happily stayed a second night.
During the day, we toured Palm Springs and the surrounding area; we first visited the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens, which was interesting but had some rather sad animals in disappointingly small cages.
Nevertheless, the Zebra seemed happy:

In the early evening we headed over to Palm Canyon Oasis - the palm trees are amazing in their “wild” state where they appear to keep their old leaves:
There was not much water visible at the oasis - but obviously enough to grow many palm trees!
