Yep, back in Las Vegas again.
We’re here for a few days of personal down time. The last trip was strictly business and not much in the way of fun was had, but this trip should be different.
One of my favorite things about this place is that everywhere you look, once you get away from the strip, are mountains. Las Vegas gives the impression of being a city inside a bowl, surrounded by mountains. Last time I was here it rained one morning and there was snow in the mountains. Beautiful. It’s certainly different here than in the East where I grew up and, even though it isn’t (naturally) green, it’s very beautiful in a different way.
Of course there’s always Las Vegas Boulevard to remind you where you are. Oh well.
