A tour of Shangri-La



In the land of sunshine lies a mythical place called Shangri-La. There, the sun always shines and the air is sweet with the smells of spices and honey. Well at least the sun shines a lot.










Only the sweetest of fruits hang from the trees awaiting someone eager to enjoy their bounty. Nothing beats the taste of a juicy orange picked right from the tree. The park had dozens of citrus trees. Although we're not the only ones enjoying the oranges, there always seems to be a few to pick.
The grapefruits seem less popular. We have been picking from this tree for a week and there are still lots to enjoy. They are so sweet that you don't need to add sugar to taste. There are also limes and lemons on trees here but they don't seem ripe just yet.

A lot of the units are permanent and they have landscaped their site to make it visually appealing. This one has good examples of local plants as well as a full orange tree.



The decorations on this site were cute. Kyle, see if you can find Yosemite here!

Some of the sites, such as this one have added some Xmas season decorations as well. Some are well lit up at nite but I couldn't get a good photo at nite.
The campground itself is well looked after and has a lot of activities. This is the horse shoe pitch. They must be good here because the grass in front of the boxes is hardly touched, yet I've seen it being played more than once. There's a warm pool, hot tub, pool tables, craft area and shuffle board. Something for everyone it seems.
And here's our home. We did bring a few decorations for Xmas but they're all inside. Perhaps you can see some in the window.
Well, that's a short tour of our little corner of heaven. Did you notice that there was no snow? Whenever you get disgusted with winter you can come back and look at the palm trees and fruit hanging just ready for picking. Ta ta for now.
