Desert Sojourn: Part 1
My trip to the desert was rained out, but not before one week of hiking and exploring. Once upon a time ... Marilyn Monroe, Raymond Burr and equally illustrious movie stars stayed at this Mid-Century Modern hotel in the desert. Although a fire ravaged the property and its charming casitas, new owners have restored the classic lobby, pool, eight unadorned rooms, and 2 remaining casitas for visitors to Borrego Springs. The restaurants - Krazy Coyote & Red Ocotillo - are popular spots for grazing.
Interesting. I can picture her standing on the balcony. I hope the new owners are very successful.
ReplyDeleteThis was interesting. The title perked my interest. Marilyn has ties to Niagara Falls too. On both sides of the border.She got around.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Monroe visit this place. Wow !!!
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say that I don't think Marilyn Munroe ever spent one single night in my house.
ReplyDeleteOr my shed.
Is it surprising that Maryilyn's name still carries a certain power - Dying young will do that.
ReplyDeleteI see a trip in my near future ... looks really interesting.
ReplyDeleteByddi,
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can sit poolside together one day, sipping a drink;-)
