Left Anaheim early in the morning en route to Laughlin in Nevada and stopped for a quick stop on a remaining part of route 66 the as Sandy the courier lives in Palm Springs we went there for a visit en route. She told us how Palm Springs had been sacred Indain land and was taken by the white man, but when the indians were educated one went to college, studied law and sued the US Government for taking the indians land, so Palm Springs was divided into squares and every other square was given back to the indians. Today you can see built up squares and next to them squares of untouched land. We had a walk around Palm Springs and it rained! very unusual there. We went to the most unEnglish 'English pub'
and were greeted by american football supporters in all their gear watching the game around the bar and Harley Davidson riders sitting outside with their bikes sporting the stars and stripes!
