Windmills
August 4th, 2010 - by Wylie

All over Las Vegas I have been seeing these tiny blue windmills. They are about 12 feet high and are located mostly in parking lots so people can pull their cars up to them. Inside these windmills is something people need here in the desert… Water! You can refill water jugs here at the windmills. It’s very odd, but also kind of neat. Our tap water, after going through a Britta filter, tastes pretty good, so we don’t think we will be taking advantage of the windmills, though we may need to at least once, just so we can say we did it.

Vegas!
August 2nd, 2010 - by Wylie

We are now in Las Vegas! We got here around 6pm PST yesterday after three long days of driving. Today we go pick up some keys for our apartment and start moving in. Photos will be soon, well maybe tomorrow. We get internet hooked up tomorrow so no big updates until then.
