Alright, we're two weeks back, and some interesting stuff has happened, but I'm also now gearing up for the new semester to start. I'm going to try really hard to be ready this time, which means reading a lot before Tuesday comes around, which means some shorter posts.
Vacation was fun! We flew in to Las Vegas, which really does seem a bit like hell on earth. Right down to the preponderance of advertisements for lawyers on billboards as you drive along the main roads. We saw Mystere, a cirque du soleil performance that was very cool, though not as good as "O", if you're going to see one.
Then we drove to Zion, stopping at the Valley of Fire along the way for a hike. Lots of beauty and majesty. Unfortunately, the second day of hiking in Zion saw me falling into an ice cold river and then getting sick as a dog, and the next few days were mostly me inside, sleeping and then resting. It was still fun though, being cozy with Suzannah, catching up on some shows we hadn't had much time to watch, and enjoying the beautiful views outside our windows. We did some walking right around where we were staying, which was still beautiful. It was a shame we didn't get to take full advantage of Zion, and that I got sick, but a vacation is a vacation. I'm still feeling a bit groggy as my body recovers, sleeping extra, but generally up and running.
OK, I'll save the rest for a second post.
