We have arrived in our new winter home of Blythe, California. The weather is nice and warm - again today it will be 89 F. We have set up our lot similar to what we do when we are in Mexico except we have a water hose and electrical cord plugged in. Yahoo! Running water and electricity. We have met our neighbours to the left of us. A nice couple from Vancouver Island, BC. We had happy hour at their place last night and we had fun.
The strange thing that we have to adjust to is the time change. We are only 7 miles aways from the Arizona border and they are on Mountain time and we are on Pacific. So the sun sets here at 5:00 pm (which seems really early), but then we think of the time zones and how close we are and that explains everything. We discussed moving back to Mountain time, but we figured we would get messed up with appointments and stuff if we did. Oh well if that's all I have to complain about it can't be too bad.
Last night around 7:30 we went over to the clubhouse and decided to try out the hot tub. Boy was that nice. Spent half an hour in there and wanted to come home and go to bed. Talk about relaxing.
All for now. Take care all.
