Unconventional Trip to Las Vegas

 Deah, Mandy, and I took a trip to Las Vegas last weekend. When we got there we were starving so we went to an Italian Restaurant owned by an Italian Family. The food was so good and authentic!


 We stayed at the Tuscany, thanks to Mandy, and it was great!

 On Friday we hiked in Red Rock Canyon. Calico Tanks was the first hike we did. 


 The view at the top of Calico Tanks of Las Vegas and the canyon was amazing!


 It was an amazing hike.

 On the roads around the canyon they had signs for the tortoise crossing and signs warning against feeding the wild burros and horses. Funny what you see in other places.
 After Calico Tanks we hiked up Pine Creek. It was very beautiful but we got lost multiple times. Luckily we got out before it got dark. 

 That night we ate at a Hispanic restaurant by chance. The guy working there was determined to have us try cow tongue which we did try and I actually really liked. I even ordered a taco with it. 

As we left on Saturday we stopped at a Chinese bakery and got some unusually good pastries. We never really went down the strip, but this, by far, was one of my favorite trips to Vegas! Thanks for the great time Mandy and Deah!
