Glamping - desert style in Joshua Tree (a later-blog)

"What is glamping?" one might ask? Well, it is "glamorous camping"  and it is my way of easing into full-on wilderness camping. I've always wanted to go camping because the Disney Channel told me that it's a typical American summer past time.  (I suppose I forget that I my parents are Chinese immigrants so that doesn't apply to me.)

Anyway, this girl needs a shower wherever she goes and the idea of not bathing for a week while camping was not something I felt ready to dive into.  Instead we stayed at our humble abode below this past April: 

Earth domes!!! We found this place on Airbnb -->  https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/499485. Lisa, our host, was wonderful in giving us the lay of the land. It was also hyper-convenient that Joshua Tree National Park was only a few steps and a hop over the fence away! 

The landscape was amazing and one of a kind. This is one of the reasons I love California - you can drive a couple of hours in any direction and you feel like you end up in a completely different part of the world.
