Viva Las Vegas...

I really don't know how I would describe Vegas. I have to say that I had a good time in the trip. And the pleasant weather in the Christmas weekend just added to the experience.

The trip was pretty much a last minute decision. It was more the drag of Minneapolis that made me go than the lure of the tingling coins in the slot machines.



It's hard to not get amazed by the different hotels, casinos and the glitter of the town. But at the same time I can't believe that woman is a commodity in this town. Half the money is made by selling women. A country that ridicules other lesser countries due to lack of women's rights and sexual discrimination, has to look at its own self.

The drive to the Grand Canyon was quite nice. The Grand Canyon is definitely an experience. But we had too little time here. We could not even hike far enough down. So we just ended up clicking some nice pictures and checking out the best views before we hit the road again. Having stayed in the rockies for a year, I've come to appreciate mountains very much. The canyons were not very different from the mountains. Just that they go below the ground. Its just this huge whole in the ground in the middle of nowhere.



On the whole, Vegas+Canyon is definitely an experience that you want to go through, although not my favorite places on Earth.
