The view from our room in Fantasy Springs

The sunset spectacle that is the Coachella Music and Arts Festival 2015 shimmers on the last evening of the event, April 19.

We chose this festival as one of many destinations in our year of full-time travel while still working from an RV. We also chose South By Southwest in Austin.
