Las Vegas

We decided that our smaller camera is not up to the quality we want for a picture-taking odyssey that a mission surely provides so we headed to the camera store in St. George where we bought our last camera (which we had given to one of our kids). Sadly, it was closed and shuttered, having gone the way of most small, local camera stores in cities the size of St. George. Another industry pushed aside by Amazon, Costco, and the internet.

As Las Vegas is the only city of any size within a reasonable distance, we headed out for a short jaunt on Wednesday the 11th. Vegas has a very nice camera store and we purchased the Canon 70D. It is the successor to our last camera and we were very pleased with the purchase. Now we are ready for Colombia and its beautiful vistas. I took KR to the Rio buffet for the prime rib - yummm!

My wife is the queen of Priceline and managed to wrangle us a $60 room at the Marriott Vegas Resort & Spa. It was so nice, we decided to stay another night.

On Thursday, the 12th, we had a nice dinner with some of our missionaries - Lance Banks, Michael Gardineer, Angel Valladares and their wives. It was so nice to see them and we talked on and on about our time in Honduras together. They are doing so well.
