So Here's What Happens in Vegas

Las Vegas is a place of beautiful tacky sadness. The surface is shiny and people seem to be having a good time. However, the underlying tone seems to be oppressive and a bit sad. It is interesting, however, to find little bits of beauty in a place known as "sin city".

Isn't there a song about Denver?


Headed west, Denver called us to stop. Stayed for a day, then hopped in the car to head for Nevada. An amazing place with it's own unique flavor, you can tour the entire city on a bike. And less than an hour away are the most breathtaking sights that, in a good way, remind of how small you actually are.

On the Road in the Heartland


From Dallas to Denver, you go through Kansas. There's not much there, but this wheat field was right up against one of the gas stations. And it was beautiful.
