Got up this morning at 6:30am and met the tour bus. We then drove around LA picking up various other riders in the area. We got to see china town LA and some of the downtown smog. Fairly uneventful really. Then we drove into Las Vegas and toured some of the major buildings in the daylight. It was sunny and hot. We played around in one of the casinos for a while. I was honestly unimpressed. I guess because it really does look just like the movies. Nothing I had not seen on TV. Haha. I am showing some photos today from the plane ride i took of various land formations i found interesting while flying yesterday.
We stopped at 2 different outlet malls one between LA and Las Vegas and another one in St. George. I think its an asian thing to shop like that. We were only at each for about an hour. We stretched out legs and picked up a few things we thought we might use for the trip. For one, a pair of shorts, as i didnt bring any. I thought it would be cold, and I really dont have any that fit me now anyway.
We at
at In-n-out burger joint for lunch, its apparently a famous like fast
food place in this part of the country. Not bad...
We are now in St. George Utah (10pm here). Its actually a very picturesque
city. The whole thing is a city sunken into a valley of pink walls. Its
very striking the contrast of green foliage to red rock everywhere.
Unlike LA and Vegas is seems very clean, crisp and beautiful. Its a new
and growing town. It is apparently famous for year round golf weather and is sunny 350 days out of the year. Seems like a great place to live actually if it were not for all the Mormons pumping out babies here. I must have seen a kid on every other womans hip! We ate dinner at another Chinese buffet here in St. George. It was actually pretty good for buffet style food. I tried to eat my veggies. Last night working out made me ill, so ill either skip tonight or take it easy.
