THE HOLIDAY SEASON IN NEVADA

BEHOLD THE EIFFEL TOWER



Well, certainly a beautiful photo of a great rendition.  Also, you might notice the full moon just to the left of the tower.  We took the picture as we were watching the dancing waters at the Bellagio.

OUR CHRISTMAS CARD THIS SEASON

Our favorite solarium in the Bellagio was decked out in thousands of amazing flowers.  I read that the director of horticulture at Bellagio "Andy Garcia" is not the movie star but, a gentleman who immigrated from El Salvador in 1984.  He was one of 17 children.  He worked hard and rose through the ranks of the landscaping business in Las Vegas, worked hard to succeed in his rise to the top of the garden world of the desert.  These pictures, taken by us, are great but not as amazing as the real thing.  The smell of the Bellagio and Conservatory Gardens cannot be sent in a blog.  Factually, 22,000 people visit these Gardens every day.

The bears are white carnations...sweet

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS

We are enjoying this season with friends in the RV park and co-workers at Camping World.  Family is too far away for a quick trip to enjoy a good dinner and seeing our grandchildren and children.  But, we think about all of them and love them just the same.  We wish a safe and happy season to friends in all parts of the world.

Still Enjoying the glitz

US.....NOW

For our friends and family who wonder where in the world are Herb and Cindy, we are currently workkamping in Las Vegas, NV for Camping World.  We are living in Mesquite, NV in our Class C RV.  We are selling our Lake Home and going on the road for as long as our bodies will let us.  We just finally gave it up to the gypsy spirit in both of us.  We will move on West to Napa Valley in May and serve the Camping World stores in Vacaville and Rocklin.  That ends in September and who knows after that.  We enjoy our life and tie ourselves to our chairs as there are three BIG casinos in the small city of Mesquite.  They have great food and other temptations for us. We travel with our cat Boo Boo.  He makes it feel like home and greets us when we return.  Follow our blog.  It might get wild and crazy.  More to Come C, H, and Boo too

I'm so glad to have discovered your blog. I hope to be doing the same thing you are one day! I have never been to Las Vegas during Christmas - hope to do that when I get my Casita one day! Thanks for wonderful photos.
