After a nice breakfast in the casino's coffee shop (also relatively smoke-free), we hit the road at 8:45 am. Again, a long and boring drive. My goodness but there's a lot of open land in Nevada and eastern Oregon. We decided not to stop for lunch since we were so close to home by that time, so we just munched on nuts and crackers left from the trip. Don got us back home safe and sound at around 2:30 pm, which gave us plenty of time to start laundry, go through the mail and still watch the first presidential debate.
One other thing I forgot to mention about our tour of the Olympic site. Our tour guide told us that when we watch the ski long jumps, NBC makes it look like they are soaring way up high before they land. Actually they are only about 15-20 feet off the ground. I'll watch with a more critical eye from now on.
As always, it's good to be home, but we had a great time and we are thankful that we had the opportunity to see more of this wondrous country and spend time with good friends.
