We spent a lovely morning at Shanker/Shobana's place. They live in a condo right on the Marina in Marina del Ray. It reminded us a bit of our condo on Alki. We chatted all morning and Raga and Mamaiyya went for a walk along the waterfront later. Then after a delicious lunch, we set out for Las Vegas around 2.30 pm. I stopped briefly at the Starbucks store i helped design on Lincoln and Fiji, about a half mile from their place.
We stopped for our usual coffee break around 4.30pm and got into Las Vegas at 8.15pm or after driving for almost 3 hours across the Mohave desert.I was doing 80mph and at one point a cop car pulled up along our car and signalled to me to slow down and then he sped off...weird! Must have had something more compelling to do...Las Vegas is really quite spectacular....glitzy and ornate but in a tasteful way. We have a room on the 17th floor in Sahara and it has a balcony looking right onto the strip. R and I checked in and then had dinner at a Mexican restaurant downstairs. Then we walked a couple of miles along the strip mentally making notes of things to do tomorrow.
