San Francisco

Yesterday evening we arrived in San Francisco. After walking up Lombard Street at night we had dinner in China Town and finished with a Mojito in Condor Club on Broadway—nice dancing there, iykwim :) .

Today we took the 49-Mile Scenic Dive through the city, impressive views from Twin Peaks and a Golden Gate Bridge halfway in fog.

Las Vegas

Baker, California. We are going to San Francisco, yet no flowers in our hair. A big `Thank you!` goes out to Thoean for showing us around in Las Vegas, one unforgettable evening filled with impressions of Bellagio fountains, dinner in Venetian flair, night clubs from Coyote Ugly bar dancing house music served cocktails. Of course some gambling, too. We stayed at Circus Circus, one of the few old school Las Vegas hotels/casinos.

The night before we stayed in Mesquite, right at the Nevada border. Monument Valley really is impressive, I`ll have to watch `Back to the Future III` again, some scenes are set here.
