Morning all. I write from sunny Las Vegas. Yesterday was delightful. Free breakfast at the motel and it was good. Fresh waffles off the grill. Then we got on the shuttle to the park. Once in the park we got on another shuttle that took us through the park. You could get out at any stop, wander around as much as you wanted and catch another shuttle. It was all very clean and organized. We took some short walks, nothing over a mile. There were tons of people there of all sorts. So many different languages. Nice folk. We at garlic French bread with goat cheese and avocados, blackberries and cherries outside the old lodge that was built for tourists back in the 20’s. We stayed until about 3 then went back to town, picked up our car and headed for Las Vegas. Along the way we went to the Big Chill for snow cones. I was just thinking that snow cones were few and far between in this neck of the woods and here is a Hawaiian shaved ice place. Bright blue, built like a little house, cute as it could be. Very nice man inside. I really liked him because there were some kids there and he listened to what they wanted instead of listening to the Mom yelling from the car. Rather sounds like I’m a traitor to my own kind but she did sound a little bitchy. Anyway Austin got his three flavors instead of just two and he gave them an extra punch on their frequent customer card.
At this point we had gone through so many time changes, we literally didn’t know what time it was. Our various electronic devises didn’t agree either. Oh we changed the Tomtom’s voice so now he sounds like a Brit, sort of a young Sean Connery. But he still didn’t know what time it was. So we thought we were going to get here at 7:30, then we revised to 6:30 and it was actually 5:30. I think we now know we are firmly in the Pacific Time Zone.
We went out for Thai food, which was very good. We went swimming in a pool that is Bruce and Phillip’s backyard. ( We don’t need no stinking grass!) Today we are messing around in Las Vegas and then it’s off to Arizona. Yes we are going to Sedona Debra. Then off to Tempe.
