Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Someone at work overheard me talking about my trip and asked "So why did you go to Las Vegas?"
For a wedding, actually. But a friend of mine, suspecting that the Strip would be somewhat lost on me, suggested that we go to Red Rock Canyon* while we were out there, and that was worth the price of admission.
I'm still a little awed, and all we did was go around the scenic drive. I wasn't in hiking shape, and even if I had been, the little bit of wandering we did took us three hours. Being an East Coast girl (without being at all hip) I am used to lots of green and rolling hills, so the desert was alien to me. Oh sure, I've seen movies and pictures, but they don't do it justice. That didn't stop me from shooting 170 pictures, though.
(Click for larger, though they still don't do it justice.)
