So i kept saying its was imaginary and she said no. Haaa finally she looked it up and read it was a made up creature. Now i wonder... is there a big foot?
This one is a bit late guys but it was pretty much a nonstop eventful night. After eating at lotus of siam we decided to walk around a bit. It looks like their building a new casino on the strip. Weird how its already full of casinos yet they still somehow find room to build more. I wonder in the near future would thi ...

The waves crashing sounds like rocks rumbling.
So we decided just to tour around the boardwalk. Its completly dead! It seemed as if it was a dying hangout place. A few people here and there but dead.

Quick rr stop. Stopped at this little hotel place right next to the cliffs. This is what you see when you look out your window.
We stopped by to check out the elephant seals. In one spot we sneaked over the fence. We got up and personnal with one. As i was about to turn around to ask viv to take my pic. She was gone and back next to our car. I was alone with a huge elephant seal... yea i didnt stay long.
