Arrived in whales vagina today. We didn't get back to the hsotel in Vegas until 4 am and had to get to the Greyhound station at 7am. We went to a the vampire show I mentioned in Vegas, pretty crap but laughably bad in parts. No story whatsoever but who needs a story when you have topless girls who can put their legs behind their heads. Lost $40 within 5 minutes at a poker table but won $10 lqater at roulette and another 15 at blackjack Lost a bit on the slot mach...

Vegas baby, Vegas. Arrived here at 10pm on Saturday. Awful Greyhound ride and had to walk to hostel. However within the first 5 minutes we came down Fremont Street which is basically a huge indoor street.

Hit the town at about 11pm, went back to Fremont and hit some casinos but ...

We called the shuttle company and they said we could move our shuttle to tomorrow and the return to the day after that free of charge. We are staying in Flagstaff tonight and heading to the Grand Canyon tomorrow. We were smart enough to get refundable Greyhound tickets to Vegas so hav...

Technically I'm back in Albuquerque but I will explain that in a minute. A quick update on Santa Fe and then info on what is happening in the very near future. On day two in Santa Fe we decided to look for a tent and hiking boots as we need both for the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. The first camping shop we had was selling tents for over $250 so obviously we gave that a miss but the shop owner was kind enough to direct us to a cheaper place. We keep landing on our...
