Day Two in La Mentirosa

Got woken up at 8 this morning by the sister and the dog. Breakfast was sausage, eggs, and fried rice. Went back to sleep. Got up and putzed around a little. Parents came home with groceries, including several crab. Mama steamed them in the bbq outside, and we had lunch out on the patio; crab, caesar salad, bread. I shelled the crabs we didn't get to at lunch; that will be in our omelete tomorrow.

Let's see.... I needed a chinelas because the ones I brought broke. Looked for some at Ross and the 99cents store, before finding some for under two dollars at super oppression Wallmart. After that, we went to have tapas at Firefly; albondigas, jamon serrano, queso manchego, pulpo asado, patatas bravas, empanaditas. The empanadas were fried, and the jamon y queso were served with some pickled ginger you usually find with nigiri. Our waiter's name was Paulo from Brazil.

After dinner we went to the Fashion Show Mall, looked for H's boots and went to the Apple Store, but I asked to be taken home due to a gaseous anomaly in my stomach. I took care of it and laid down for a while. H came back from the pharmacy with some Airborne, becase we think we're coming down with something.

H and I Google Earthed for a while, and then when our parents were in bed, H and I decided to go for a drive. We parked at Circus Circus (which is a part of Latin America, que viva) and found our way to Slots A Fun, and the 99 cent 1/2 lb hot dog, which we split. By the time we went back to the car, we smelt like a couple of ash trays just from walking through the casino. GROSS. We drove to the Bellagio and walked around there a little; not much to do after midnight. Drove home smelling like the ash tray family. It's almost 3am.

The dog is well behaved and charming, but has peed twice in the dining room. My parents try to earn her affection by trying to feed her all the time (sound familiar?), so they're not much of a dog pack.

We bought a palate of Dasani because the water here tastes bad. Tomorrow: Christmas Eve.
