Hemet,CA April 16th--19th

April 16th
We went to breakfast at the resort before playing 9 holes of golf at Echo Hills. We had a hamburger and mango smoothie at the Palms Cabana for lunch. We listened to music while swimming. We played in the Friday night shuffleboard 7-9 pm. Marie got the high points award.

April 17th
Ralph and I drove north to Oak Glenn to attend the Apple Blossom Festival. Because the winter was cooler this year, all of the orchards were not out in bloom. We had a good time tasting apple cider,pies,jams, etc. and shopping in the craft and art shops. Ralph bought a enormous pie with 5 lbs of apples in it. We soaked in the hot tub when we got back.

April 18th ( Happy 40th Gary and Karen)
We did some grocery shopping in the morning. We left at 11:30 am for the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre in Hemet to see the 87th year of the outdoor play "Ramona". We had some lunch, toured the museum and watched folklore dancers before the performance at 2 pm. The 2.5 hour pageant is a classic love story in early California life 1850's depicting the diversity of the Spanish,emerging white settlers and native peoples. It was spectacular--a natural setting with the mountains as a backdrop and a Spanish hacienda,200-300 performers(Indian hoop dancers,Marachi bands etc) horses,donkeys--it was s-o beautiful. I bought a hat and fan because it was so hot.Every woman received a red rose as they were leaving the performance.

April 19th
Ralph went to get diesel and fill up our propane tanks while I did laundry. The 200 Tiffin motorcoaches arrived today and yesterday. We are definitely enjoying our new rv site. We relaxed around the pool on a warm afternoon. We are getting ourself ready to head back north to home.
