Day 2 - Relaxing in Reno

Today, we slept in, relaxed all morning, did a little homework, went swimming in the 15x15 foot pool, went hot-tubbing (more like warm tubbing) and watched some basketball on tv. It was a good change from school and driving and all of that and I think it helped us get over our colds and sickness that we've had.

Later in the afternoon, we headed up to the Lawlor Event Center. We got our passes and went in to watch our game against Louisiana Tech. We were there about an hour early, but the seats allotted to USU students (behind the backboard) were almost all full already. More and more Aggie fans kept coming. Our team started the game good and never let up. Within a few minutes, we were doing the "Up by twenty" chant. We ended up winning by thrity points, 85-55.

After the game, we went looking for a place to eat. We drove down the Reno downtown section, under the "Reno: The Biggest Little City in the World" sign and past all the casinos. We eventually decided on a chinese buffet. We went into the large buffet, and found it to be completely empty. We were the only ones eating there, and we soon found out why. None of the food was great, and most was just okay or worse, so that was an adventure. I did however branch out and try some different sea food things like squid, oysters, clams, mussels, and lobster. The lobster was the best, and then the oyster, but the other things were a little gross.

After dinner, we got a thing of Ben and Jerrys ice cream and ate dessert and watch a movie at the hotel.

The end

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I really hope this vacation - being able to relax and take it a bit easier - will really help you two get healthy again.
I'm looking forward to future bloggings. I can't wait to hear your impressions to some of the places we've been and enjoyed.
