architecture is very impressive and the restaurant is so nice by the pool.” “I’m so glad<br />
you like it here Ramon.”<br />
Our brunch is delightful. We top it off with a creamy chocolate caramel torte.<br />
“Oh my Gosh! This is so very delicious, Ramon!”<br />
He spoon feeds me the chocolate torte and hazelnut ice cream.<br />
“Delicious indeed, Michael. Are you ready for our hike in Palm Canyon?” Ramon asks.<br />
“Oh yeah, I need to walk off some of this sugar!”<br />
“Michael, did you know that this is the largest fan palm oasis in the Americas?”<br />
We continue to hike through the dense<br />
canopy of palm trees that follow the creek.<br />
“The water level is so low in the creek<br />
since I was here last. Four years of drought<br />
have taken their toll.” Ramon says. “Yes,<br />
we all need to do our part in conserving<br />
water. Global warming is not a myth,” I add<br />
emphatically!<br />
We end the day with dinner on the patio at<br />
my place.<br />
“This meal is sublime, Michael! Thank you.”<br />
Suddenly a loud hooting can be heard above<br />
us. ”Michael, it’s a huge Great Horned Owl.<br />
It’s almost two feet tall!“ “Yes Ramon, the<br />
owl lulls me to sleep every night!” ”How<br />
magical Michael. Such a beautiful sound.”<br />
Entranced, we sit in the moment and listen.<br />
