Our Adventures in Nevada

We spent 3 days in Reno with our friends, Mary and Paul Wells. They are great hosts. We arrived Saturday and were treated to a home cooked dinner including a birthday cake for Donna. Sunday was Donna's birthday and our anniversary. We met Mary and Paul at 5:30 am to go to the hot balloon festival. It was smaller than the one we used to go to in Albuquerque but still spectacular. After leaving there we went to Virginia City and saw the camel and ostrich races followed by a stagecoach ride in an authentic stagecoach. Tom rode shotgun and I don't think he quit smiling the whole time. After a long day, we finished up with a fabulous dinner at an Italian restaurant. What a wonderful day we had. Monday, Mary and I went to our favorite yarn store in Reno, had lunch then back home to knit. What could be better you ask? On Tuesday, we went to Lake Tahoe and road the boat across the lake and back. It was too beautiful for words. We went back to Reno on the scenic route. Pictures are included. One of the best things about our adventures was that Donna's new knee was really put to the test walking over rough ground, standing and climbing up hills and down. It worked great with very little pain. Awesome! Wednesday we left Reno and are slowly working our way toward Moab, Utah. We are currently in Provo for a few days to check out this area. We have heard there are some good things to see. We'll leave here on Wednesday for Moab - are staying at the Portal RV Park for at least a week. Check often because I'll be keeping you all up to date on our latest adventures and Tom will wow you with the pictures.
