What a wonderful day in Vegas, we went to Bay City Diner around noonish and Ross had the hamburger and I had the French toast, yummy. We got back to the hotel for Ross to look for a reel to reel player so he can play some old old old reel to reel tapes he has from the 60’s??? (I think) One guy had one for $50 but couldn’t find a box to put it in as UPS and Fed Ex is closed cause of the holiday so we are going home without one. I spent most of the day at the pool enjoying the sun then the shade. Reading, people watching and snoozing……………..what a wonderful day!
I think this is the most relaxing day I have had on vacation for years. I left the hotel but just to walk down Freemont Street to check out the people and the vendors in case I needed to buy something. No such luck but the atmosphere is electric! I am sure looking forward to my little house in Bucerias though; I think I’m getting too old for this shit.

Ross picked up another couple of shirts from Binions Hotel and Casino, I found a very pretty mauve top at the store in the hotel so we have shopped out. We brought 2 extra suitcases for stuff and one is full and the other is about half full, we are just hoping that Mexicana Airlines allows 2 pieces of luggage per person without any extra charge!

Ross had his last hunk of prime rib tonight for supper and I went all out and had steak with garlic shrimp, excellent as always. While Ross was trying to lose some money on the fish slots, I stood outside and watched a Chinese man do some sculpting of people’s heads, amazing that you can take a clump of clay and make it look like an actual person! Then I watched one of the kids make pictures with spray paint cans, newspaper and a bit of cardboard. The picture is a little bigger than 8 1/2 x 14 and he has it on a table that swivels, then they spray some different colours onto the cardboard then with a putty knife or newspaper or their fingers and reveal the colours underneath and make super pictures. Some of the universe, some of New York or some other city, they draw quite a few of the twin towers and soldiers with the flag (we are in the states don’t you know!).

We are now upstairs, Ross on his computer (it’s his turn to have the internet on his computer) and me on mine writing our blog. It’s a little after 10 and we have a wake up call at 6:30 in the morning so I will say bye for now, see you back in Bucerias!

I wish everyone a great day!
