点评:Two other friends and I just experienced a tour provided by Misha from the Palm Springs Historical Society, (booked through the Modernism Week roster of tours) which was entitled “Lush Living on the Links,” and this neighborhood walking tour was absolutely fantastic. The tour was approx. 2.5 hours long, and covered the neighborhood near the Indian Canyon Golf resort, a beautiful area with many gorgeous, photogenic mid century homes. Misha was so well-versed in the architecture and history of these homes, pointing out many features of the era’s homes and providing some facts and a bit of “gossip” about the former occupants, including Walt Disney, David Janssen, and more. Her commentary was engaging, and she had a great sense of humor. She provided information on the unusual trees and cacti we saw, and the tour was paced well, too, never moving too fast and with frequent stops for chats. Misha thoughtfully looked for shade along our route, and appeared to be held in great regard by the homes owners, as she was frequently greeted warmly along our route. Her love of Palm Springs was evident by her willingness to share her knowledge freely, and to ensure the tour participants were all entertained. I highly recommend this tour and Misha was a delightful host!
