On our way to Fisherman's we saw this Bentley that was absolutely silver....never seen anything like it.
Our good old Salmon Creek Cab...
During our morning swim, we met this really nice young couple from Vancouver. He is from New Zealand and she is from France. They met while both working in the film industry in Vancouver and are living in Kits. We seem to meet all sorts of interesting people at this pool!
And then for the evening, we got free tickets from the Desert Sun to see a screening of Sea of Shadows at the Palm Springs Cultural Centre (the old Camelot movie theatres). This National Geographic Documentary is just excellent and I would recommend you see it. Good on the Desert Sun for arranging a screening. It is investigative journalism at its best and it really makes you realize how important investigative journalism is for bringing awareness and action.
"A looming disaster in one of the most spectacular environments on Earth sparks a rescue mission unlike any other in SEA OF SHADOWS, a riveting new documentary with the intensity of a Hollywood thriller from National Geographic Documentary Films and winner of the Sundance audience award. When Mexican drug cartels and Chinese traffickers join forces to poach the rare totoaba fish in the Sea of Cortez, their deadly methods threaten virtually all marine life in the region, including the most elusive and endangered whale species on Earth, the vaquita porpoise. SEA OF SHADOWS follows a team of dedicated scientists, high-tech conservationists, investigative journalists and courageous undercover agents as well as the Mexican Navy as they put their lives on the line to save the last remaining vaquitas and bring the vicious international crime syndicate to justice.
The vaquita porpoise has been listed as critically endangered since 1996. The population was estimated at 600 in 1997, below 100 in 2014, approximately 60 in 2015, around 30 in November 2016, and only 12-15 in March 2018, leading to the conclusion that the species will soon be extinct unless drastic action is taken.
This movie theatre is such fun to go to and we enjoyed a glass of wine at our seat...how civilized!
They have a full bar with just about every type of wine or alcohol you can think of.
I love this mural.
