Day 23 Monday 6/28/10 Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Las Vegas







Got up early and didn't have to worry about showering (no showers there) and I slept in my clothes I was wearing today. Jonny had gotten up in the middle of the night as someone was snoring. I think he thought it was me, but I don't snore. It was nice having the tent all to myself. I just may like camping - nah!! We went back to the area we were in yesterday and the view looked different in the morning, than it did in the evening. What a wonder of the world. If I was 20 years younger I think I would have taken the donkey ride to the bottom of the canyon, but I wasn't going to chance dying, really I didn't want to hurt the animal.

We drove for 200 + miles to Las Vegas stopping off and viewing Hoover Dam. There is a major construction of roads and bridges in this area. Everyone has to go thru a security just to drive over the dam. We were asked to look in the back of our truck. The policemen asked what we had under the blanket, and when Jonny told him dirty clothes he didn't need to look futher. Probably got a wiff. Then drove to Las Vegas, this is probably one of the ugliest areas on our entire trip. Once you get to Vegas its not bad but the area between Hoover Dam and Vegas is bad. Why would anyone want to live there.

Met with an friend for dinner that Jonny was in the Navy with Samuel Adams. He was very nice and recognized Jonny right away, We stayed at Circus Circus as it was cheap. The room was very nice and quiet. I think we are heading home tomorrow. I am so anxious to do laundry and to wear something different, and get on the scale. Sam took us to a very nice Asian buffet and really over ate, even the desserts were good.
