Great Trip

---

Just got back from Reno, NV. Went to Donner Memorial and then went swimming in Lake Tahoe. A great experience, the water was cold but crisp and sweet. Went to Virginia City, had read a Mark Twain book about it, found it very interesting and people (visitors and townspeople) quite decent. Rode the train and train ride was about the correct length, not too long and not too short. The car musuem was full of interesting cars, was a bit too much for me though may have been about right for a real gearhead. Lost a bit in the casinos. Great trip. Room was cheap, from Hotwire was $36.00 per night for weekend nights in a Holiday Inn. I got an Enterprise car, walked from airport down to their outlet, saved about $40.00 for a 3 night rental. Car was really a necessity. Did not get to the Carson City museum, had seen it awile back and it good for its size. We did not try any food especially exotic, kept meaning to try a Ethopian place but will have to do it next visit. Lots of older motels but was a lot cleaner than Las Vegas.
