Reflections of My Travel

After such a tiring day yesterday and not making it back to the house until after 23:00, 05:00 was just brutal this morning. And it was a Monday so the emails and cases just kept flooding in and smacking me upside the head. After work, we rested up and had a nice dinner with some friends of B&S. I’m still tired.

We are really not doing a great job of getting to bed early enough for this 05:00 thing. We stayed up far too late last night socializing and I have been dragging all day again because of it. Oh, and it was Monday II. After work, we headed to Topaz Lake with the sailboat. I’ve never been sailing before so I was looking forward to the experience. Not to mention that it seemed like it would be pretty relaxing and hopefully cool. The weather was actually a bit iffy. It looked quite stormy on our way to the lake and it started raining while the boat was being prepared. Luckily, the rain passed fairly quickly and left behind just a little wind. Sailing is pretty nifty. It’s amazing the speed that the wind can generate. We spent a few hours at the “beach” and had a little picnic there for dinner.

This afternoon we did the drive around Lake Tahoe with a few little vista stops. Emerald Bay is quite pretty and the lake is much bigger than I had thought. Once we made the 72 mile loop around the lake, we headed back to Gardnerville. We stopped in on a friend of B&S (the one we dined with Monday) and he cooked us some yummy Chinese vittles.
