comforting music. The shade they provide is a welcome respite from
the harsh desert sun, and beneath them, scattered here and there,
are the husks of fallen fruit. A low flat rock deliberately set
beneath one large palm seems to be a perfect spot to sit and rest
for a time, soothed by the rustling of the fronds that drifts down
from above.
