This is the first time in a very long time that I haven’t woken up with my wife on Christmas day, it makes me a little sad but in less than a week I should be back home and all will be good. My luck may be improving on my hike today to get coffee I found $100 lying on the grass next to the sidewalk. Hopefully, this is an indication of things to come.

Christmas here in Vegas is much different than back home it just doesn’t seem like Christmas. There is very little in the way of decoration’s displayed and most business are open it just does not feel like Christmas here. On my way to get coffee, I passed by a McDonalds that had 1/2 a dozen cars in the drive-thru waiting to be served. After getting back from my morning walk I spoke to my wife and kids which helped cheer me up.

Will be heading out to Red Rock Canyon which is about 30 miles outside of Vegas this afternoon. I arrived at Red Rock Canyon expecting to have the place mostly to my self and was amazed to see a large lineup of cars waiting to get in. 

I spent the rest of the day exploring the canyon, walking along the trails checking out a little waterfall.

It was a pleasant day despite the chill in the air. Hopefully, I receive good news from Bob tomorrow, either way, 2 more days and I’m out of here.
