Next day we left Palm Springs to go to Disneyland!

On our way from Palm Springs I finally got to glimpse the Cabazon dinosaurs. It was too dark when we arrived.

When we arrived in Anaheim we went for a drink at the new tiki bar at Disneyland hotel, Trader Sam’s. It was great! I loved the atmosphere and they played just the right music, and Ioved how things would happen (water spraying, thunderstorm outside a fake window and such) when people ordered certain drinks.

Next morning we went to Disneyland. I wore a very Lana Turner inspired outfit with my Mexican inspired playsuit, a turban and a great pair of shoes I got from a Swedish catalogue some time ago. They are really your typical orthopedic old lady shoes, but look like the perfect 40s wedge.

We had lunch at the wonderful Blue Bayou, a restaurant inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride that has the coziest atmosphere, and usually great food.

I absolutely loved this rotten old skeleton you could wind out of the water, right up my swampy, rotten alley! I wish there was a whole park with more gross and scary things like this, made with the same care and attention to detail and atmosphere as the Disney parks.
