post-Vegas

Well, Vegas was a lot of fun. It was definitely nice having Reyna and my sis there. They kept each other company while I was in training. Funny thing about women...they were supposed to go walking down the strip and check out the hotels but what did they do both those days when I was in training? That's right....SHOPPING!

Anyways, they had fun doing it. Thursday we had dinner at Cafe Ba-Ba-Ree-Ba. It is a Spanish Tapa's restaurant. The food and sangria were good. They have a "house" band called Zoef. They are awesome...they are advertised as...Zoef...from the Gypsy Kings family. We were supposed to catch Splash at the Riviera that night but the show was cancelled, so Mitch's parents (nicest people in the world) took us to downtown Vegas (the old strip). It was a fun place...they had live bands and the biggest screen in the world...4 city blocks big.

Friday night we watched Cirque de Soleil's Mystere. It was awesome. Highly recommend it but if you do, get tickets toward the back...not only are they cheaper but you can see everything going on. We then went salsa dancing (come on did you forget the title of this blog?) at the Gold Coast Casino where a band called Latin Breeze was playing. The scene was pretty good. Reyna got plenty of dancing in and got her salsa fix.

Saturday we went to eat dinner at The Hard Rock Cafe and then caught Splash at the Riviera. The show was good...it was a variety type show. It had topless girls, song and dance, comedy duo and jugglers from Mexico (represent!). After that we finally hit the hotels up and took pictures in Vegas. While walking through Ceaser's Palace we encountered a bar area that had a live band that was playing some latin jazz / salsa. So you can guess what happened...that's right Reyna and I did some dancing. Got our salsa for that night too. I got some good shots that I might eventually post when I get the hang off it.

Well that's it for Vegas. We caught the 7:30 AM flight back. Reyna and I stopped for some Greek food on the way back home and then crashed for a couple hours in the afternoon since we didn't get too much sleep Saturday night. Having to go back to work was not cool but I am able to get back on my nutirition and workout shedule.

That's all.
