The season here at Quartzsite is done, so we hear. Not sure but I may be glad it is done. Supposedly 750,000 to 1,000,000 people come in January and February, wow. Met a few interesting people and got a feel for the city and what goes on here. Maybe we will come back or maybe we won't. Just not sure about it...might be fun with a group of friends. We have figured out how it got is name just by seeing all the quartz stone laying everywhere. Definitely a place for rock lovers. Two people told us not to miss the Book store; which we saw on the way in and commented that Bob needed to stock up on his western books.
Sunrise and sunset standing in the same spot. looking East and then West.
On the way to the book store I said to Bob that I felt that there was something different at the book store. When we pulled into the parking lot, we saw two men and a dog standing a good ways away from the entrance a bit to the right. I wonder why? Well we meet and talked with the owner and found him to be in good health both mentally and physically. He is 73, intelligent and he is an entertainer. He plays the piano at the store in the afternoon. Paul had a delightful personality and he personally invited us to the Sunday in the park concert where there would be food, drink and plenty of music. The following is what we found at the Readers Oasis Books. Did I mention that I had a problem with my eyes in here? They kinda wondered downward.... Also it was crocheted, if you know what I mean. |
When in Rome do as the Romans do...when in Quartzsite go to the rock store.
| We bought a GEO to crack open. I always wanted to do that and it was fun. We found a good one and it had some unique crystal in it. It also had fluorescent material in it. He put it under an ultraviolet light and it was very green. I just saw a PBS show on fluorescent material and that science is using them to examine the brain. Blues, greens, yellows and reds. |
