Greetings from the Springs

Elaine and Borrego Bills House

... Borrego Springs that is.  We have been in the desert visiting my aunt Elaine and uncle Bill - "Borrego Bill" we call him- since Wednesday and have been loving every minuite of it so far.  So much in fact that we wont leave.. we have already extended our trip twice..  Dan has been waking up early every morning to do a different expidition as part of his ironman training.  The first morning he came back completely whiped out from the freezing cold temperatures and high winds up in the mountains.  This morning he road his bike over to the Badlands.
