Here are some snaps from our holiday in the USA, roughly 2 months ago now (remember late posts are backdated to around the original date, for better organisation). These ones are from Chicago, where we had lots of fun with Didi, Jeeju and little Myra. They took us to lots of interesting places, nice restaurants, parks, malls, even a temple. We explored Chicago downtown, I played some close games of pool against Jeeju at home in the evenings, and we decorated the house a little bit for Halloween and Christmas (although sadly we had to leave before Christmas). Myra dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween, and posed for us in her cool sunnies at every other opportunity :) We stayed for a month, but the time passed too quickly.
We also made a couple of small side trips by ourselves, in an attempt to see a bit more of the country. This next set is from New York, where we spent 4 days staying in Manhatten, right next to the beautiful Central Park. Typical Time Square, Statue of Liberty, etc tourist pictures, plus the highlight of our trip – UN headquarters – which Dinesh Uncle kindly showed us around.
And finally, sin city – Las Vegas. We gambled a grand total of $2, and lost it all! But we did have a lot of fun seeing the bright lights, theme hotels, luxurious buffets, and especially the spectacular musical fountain in front of The Bellagio. We hired a Ford Mustang for a few days and had an exciting time driving around the Grand Canyon and Los Angeles on the wrong side of the road :)
