Viva Las Vegas: Day 2

Saturday was an amazing day! Here the four of us are in Valley of Fire, northeast of Las Vegas. I'm sure it was so-named because of (1) the red color of the rocks; and (2) the myriad of red rock formations throughout the valley that look like campfires. We saw rock formations and color combinations in rocks that we'd never seen anywhere else. It is a definite MUST for visitors to the Las Vegas area.

Saturday night we went to the Sahara and saw a wonderful show by the Scintas, a comedy/musical/impersonation group. Then we had a fabulous dinner at the House of Lords.

Things I've Enjoyed Reading Lately

"The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson -- This is a true story of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. It is true crime and history which reads like a novel. I was fascinated with the story of the Fair from inception to conclusion; and horrified at the crimes being committed at the same time. I was also amazed at the people who attended, the products introduced there and the far-reaching implications of the Fair. This is a great read.
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruene -- This is a poignant tale of life with a train circus during the Depression years told by 93-year-old Jacob who was a vet with the circus. You will be entertained, appalled, educated, and treated to a feel-good ending. I definitely recommend this read.
"Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett -- this was a re-read for me; I read it when it first came out in 1989 and proclaimed then that it was the best book I'd ever read. I just learned that Follett was coming out with a sequel so I decided to read this one again so I would be up to speed with the characters when I read the sequel. I still think it's the best book I've every read.
"Do You Want To Know a Secret?" by Mary Jane Clark -- I picked this up accidently (thinking I was picking up a Mary Higgins Clark) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a page-turner and I absolutely was shocked at the ending!
