Just got back from visiting my dear friend Kelley in Las Vegas. We have been best friends since fifth grade...and without going into how old we are, that's a l-o-o-o-n-g time.
That's me on the left, Kelley on the right.
I don't have a single picture of the Strip to show you. Frankly, I was kind of appalled by it. It is pretty--in a way--but I just kept thinking that only in America could there exist this kind of excess, extravagance and over-indulgence. Still, I think everyone should see it at least once.
Kelley treated me to LOVE, the Cirque du Soleil show set to the music of the Beatles. I have to admit that when the show first started I thought 'I'm not going to like this.' But it just got better and better (and more and more trippy) as it went on and I wound up absolutely loving it. And of course, the music was amazing. There is a little video clip on their website that hints at how cool the show is. If you ever go to Las Vegas, I highly recommend it.

On Sunday, we drove to Zion. I didn't realize that Zion National Park, along with the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and others, I'm sure, are just a few hours drive from Las Vegas.
Now I ask you, how can the Vegas strip compete with this?

No way the strip could come even close to this magnificent mountains.
So it was Zion National Park you went to! Lovely photos, Sharon! Greg and I went there in 93. . .would love to go back. Agree about the strip, though I've only seen photos---only in America. Would LOVE to see the Cirque de Soleil show. Glad you had fun! Gorgeous photo of you!
