I started the drive to Carson city and Dan finished it. When I drove it was sunny and nice. Pretty soon after he took over it got cloudy and rainy. Poor Dan. We drove out over the Bay bridge which I had originally mistaken for the Golden Gate bridge. Stuart had told us that they are working to earthquake-proof the Bay bridge and a couple days later in Herlong we saw a 60 Minutes special on the project, which was pretty interesting.
We drove through a lot of farmland and then up into the mountains. In the mountains it was snowy again (they had gotten snow overnight) but the road was fine. The parts that we could see were quite pretty but between the torrential rain and clouds we weren’t able to see all that much.
Once in Carson City we went straight to Margie and Dennis’ house and soon after left for dinner. Dinner was the grill at the Casino Fandango, a nice tropical themed casino. There were tracks on the ceiling for the big robotic parrot that goes around (possibly only on weekends) squawking and dropping cash. There was also the rumbling of the volcanoes every so often.
That evening we got back in time for survivor and Dan and I learned about the good vs evil teams and saw them combine. I should let Lisa (former workmate) know, she was always wanting people to watch survivor so she could talk about it!
The next morning Dennis left for work early but we saw Margie a little bit before she had to go into Reno for Nonna’s consultation. Dan made some breakfast and I posted some older journal entries (I think) from their wireless that I figured out how to use.
