Well, there's no snow, but it can still be very beautiful! Friday afternoon one of my co-teachers came in and offered me two tickets to Las Noches de las Luminarias at the Desert Botanical Garden. When we went last Friday it was beautiful and I couldn't imagine it at night. Unfortunately the pictures didn't really turn out...they wouldn't do the real thing justice anyway. We bundled up (33 degrees is parka weather for the desert-folk) and bought some hot apple cider and enjoyed some live entertainment under the stars in the desert surrounded by thousands of luminarias! It was spectacular and made it feel more like Christmas-time. Hope all you midwesterners are enjoying your snow!
