Vegas, baby!
We made it to our goal last night. After 53 days of cycle touring we have good timing to relax for a week before Halloween. We met up with Lauren and Mike at the Monte Carlo shortly after arriving, but to my chagrin they were intent on poker. We were walking the strip, taking in the sights when another surprise hit me: Charlene Tio-Tio was walking in the opposite direction with coworkers Laureen and Collette. They were on a staff vacation with the Jasper Dental Clinic. Charlene joined us as Thomas, Lauren, Mike and I walked from casino to casino.
To get to Vegas from Zion, we did two 80 mile (129 kilometer) days. It was enough exercise that both Thomas and I were pretty exhausted when we finally went back to our room to crash. We found out last night that no-one who wears swimwear or athletic clothing is allowed into any club, so I have to go pants and shoe shopping to replace my ragged runners and overly warm wool pants.
