Reno, Nevada – 7/18/2014

 

JULY 18, 2014 (Friday)

 

We are in such a rut. We promise we’ll do better and be more adventurous in the future (hopefully). 

We finally went out and got linner. Michael had been wanting a burrito from Taco Del Mar. We had gone there last year and liked it. We first walked down by Wingfield Park and listened to a really good band.

The Brad Wilson Band, practicing and they were very good.

Then we walked to Taco Del Mar and were both disappointed with it.

After linner we went walking. We wanted to get a dessert to take back to the room.

We ended up at a little place near the fountains by the river. We got a sampler of three different desserts – key lime pie, a lemon mousse, and a flour less chocolate tort. Each was very delicious. If we come back next year we want to eat there. 

We are saddened by all the mentally ill people in Reno. Wish there was a magic wand to help them. Young, old, black, white – talking away with no one near – sad. 

We are now back in our room, tummies full.  We’re both just enjoying reading, watching TV, and playing on the computer – comfortably.

That was our day. Hope yours was great!
