Where had I left off? Oh yes - Napa! So much happened...
Napa: we toured in wine country for a bit, finding a Canadian winery (!!) and, of course, drinking there. During our wander about town, I declared a need for seafood and we tried A Fish Story, but was too smelly. A few doors down, there was a sushi place so that's where we popped in. When I actually looked at the menu, I realised that we were in a Morimoto restaurant! Hai, indeed! After that, we stumbled back to SanFran, with a little llama detour, and spent our night in the sketchtastic Americania. Seriously, don't stay there.
Next: Yosemite. Glacier-produced bouldery goodness. It's such a different park than what I'm used to here in Canada. I mean, seriously, wheelchair-accessible? The trails are paved, not just mashed down grass that looks vaguely trodden-upon. We did four trails before heading off to Vegas the next day. Or at least tried to head off to Vegas. The direct (seven-hour) route was closed - thanks a lot boulders! - and so we had to detour and do an eleven-hour trek through Fresno, of all places.
Anyway, we arrived (exhausted) in Vegas and checked into our swank PH Westgate suite with its King-sized bed and its padded headboard and soaker-tub-with-water-jets and I spent a delirious evening getting clean. The next day, I wandered about the strip, taking pictures while consulting my Lonely Planet and being a total tourist. I must have caught the Bellagio fountains at least seven times, but each time was amazing. Went to bed early that night in order to make it up for 6am the next morning.
Next stop: Grand Canyon!
