by Or rather 15,467 of which we took yesterday – oh Lord my feet were tired. It seems I’m certainly accomplishing one thing on our Girl’s Trip – tiring Chloe out!! She has went to sleep before me (a rarity at home) for the last 4 nights – and had to be woke up in the morning (not a rarity at home!).
We covered but a small piece of the Las Vegas pie but seen some sights! Went to the Outlet Mall in the middle of the day – which made for some frequent ventures into stores we really had no desire to be in (No Al not those kinds of stores!! hahah) but just to soak up their air conditioning. The temperature was much more desirable in San Diego…hot but not Hell Hot. We shopped, shopped, shopped and then were back at the hotel to drop our wares off by 2pm – still lots of day to have fun with.
We wandered across the Strip to The Venetian – a huge roman themed hotel which my last memory of was getting lost as it has quite the winding feel to it – would totally throw Clark off as it’s not square with the world as he likes! Anyways we went on the “inside” gondola ride with a lovely couple from Iowa. Mario sung us several songs which were beautiful – and Chloe guessed the movie from which one was from way before the adults….Lady & the Tramp…when they were eating spaghetti together – I did not recognize it (too old apparently – me not the movie).
We ate dinner like the Seniors we are about 4:30pm – one thing about Vegas is eating times are busy – so we ate early. We both question why American’s give you so much food – could be a good clue as to why they are overweight….and the fact they have ‘soda’ for breakfast. The only time I’ve had pop for breakfast is after that all night party and my mouth is so dry from dehydration that I would grab whatever was wet before my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth….I’m sure none of you reading this will understand – hahaha.
We walked up to the Bellagio fountains – doing the zig zagging around the masses of people who all seem to come alive later in the day – yes even in this Hell Heat there are masses of people. The evening came to a close with us moaning of how sore our feet where – OK well that was me – Chloe was asleep by then!!
Today we are up early (6am) and off on our tour of Eldorado Canyon – I want to talk like Rango (Johnny Depp movie where he plays a chamelon from the Wild West) – but won’t embarress Chloe. We’ll tour a mining town and I’m sure see some interesting things! After that we’ll get on the monorail and find our way down to the other end of the Strip to check things out there.
Cheers, Shannon
PS here’s a picture of the Strip @ 6am – pretty much dead. If I lived here I’d want to work night shift!!
