An Amazing Day

Days like this don't come along very often. There was so much action packed in it's all I can do to keep my head up and not fall asleep on my keyboard. Or is it a pillow?

Up at 4:40 am. Hit gridlock on I-15 on the drive to pick up Sue at Bellagio due to fatal truck-bus crash that closed major highway for 12 hrs. Picked up sister at Bellagio and head out to Red Rock to run La Madre Springs loop. It's hard to believe but it was actually cold at Willow Springs parking area at 7am. Sue & I proceeded on treacherous terrain to circle mountain. We saw many white-tailed bunnies but no snakes (good) or big horn sheep (too bad).

After a brief rest it was time to check out the cool pool at Bellagio. Literally cool. One pool is kept at 75 degrees and it feels simultaneously freezing and refreshing. The other pool is a little warmer and easier to slip into. There was lots of skin, glitz and glamour baking in the hot sun.

Rosa Maria and Ruth joined us for dinner. We had a great table with a view of the Bellagio fountains. I had some kind of a spicy tofu dish. Sue & Ruth also were kind to animals and enjoyed tofu entries.

That's not all. The best we saved for last. The spectacular O show. It was incredible. Words can't describe it so I won't try. Traffic was stressful coming home and now it's time to hit the hay for a deep, deep, sleep.ZZZZZZ
