Reno Re-stock
Wednesday - 7 July 2004 - Reno, Nevada: After two near-500-mile days, we really
took a break and drove 60 miles today. However, we did it in two separate
mobiles. Just as we were leaving the campground this morning, we realized
the Honda had a dead battery (still unsure as to why). The friendly owner of
the campground was happy to jump-start us, but we decided it would be best
if I drove the Honda to Reno while DT maneuvered the bus to the
Biggest Little City in the World. We are in Reno for one reason and
one reason only - to get ready for 10 days in Sacramento. After checking
into our campsite, we had the Honda washed, shopped at Office
Depot, Safeway and Costco! We are stocked!
We found everything on our list and saw an amusing sight while driving
around Reno! How cute is this dog? His owner was pretty cute too and she was
laughing at me snapping her pooches photo. (Bet she didn't imagine it will
be on the internet!)
Lisa says the goggles are called "Doggles"
This evening we went to dinner at the Hilton (NOTE: now under different
ownership). There are several restaurants to choose from, and we went with
the Asian version. It had an interesting menu - something from Japan, China,
Thailand, Singapore and Korea. DT had sushi and I tried hot & sour soup
because it was made with chicken (it is traditionally made with pork).
Delicious. Our waiter was from Guangzhou and was very funny and friendly.
After dinner, we went into the casino, but it was dead. They said they were
having a huge convention of ex-Marines, but The Few and The Proud must not
be gamblers. Too boring for us, so we came home to watch Will Farrell on The
Daily Show, DT's favorite TV program.
Tomorrow: SACRAMENTO and 10 days of Track & Field! Expect daily sport and
gossip-filled reports. Be there! However... if you do not wish to be there,
please skip ahead to our final
update from our 2004 BIG TRIP.
