I got the bus to the far end of the Strip and walked back, it took me most of the day. The city has a very different feel once the sun is up, but is no less impressive. This time I made my way into some of the hotel lobbies, thousands of slot machines blink away furiously, dancing fountains, immaculately laid out flower gardens, huge shopping malls, indoor rain, white tigers pacing, bored, behind glass. Everywhere you turn alcohol is available - get them drunk and they'll spend more. Couples are led out of wedding chapels by Elvis, couples getting married in their car at the drive thru, huge numbers of people in motorised chairs (many of whom, I'm convinced, are in there simply because they are too big to walk long distances !). huge lakes, the water by its mere presenc having a welcome cooling effect. The heat was in danger of becoming unbearable, it was nice to go inside and cool down regularly. I couldn't find a bookshop anywhere (that speaks volumes - ha ha ha !!), and sadly tickets to see shows were well out of my budget.

I warned you of venturing into the interior! Never have been able to figure out the thing with the mororized chairs either. Cause or effect? Are they too fat to walk? Or can they not walk because they are too fat? Oh well, when we get married and I move to the UK, I think on the matter no further....

just to warn you - I refuse to wear white !!!
I meant are they too fat to walk or are they fat because they cannot walk? You know what I meant...
Laurie has been searching for a bikini and we for speedos for the Cape. We have decided on potato sacks..
The bridal march will be replaced with "White Wedding" by Billy Idol but you must wear black!
