Where in the world is Karen? In Vegas. Not exactly my favorite place in the U.S. but I’m learning to like it this week because I’m with a great bunch of people from the Z team and the Deaf Seniors of America. I’m working the Z booth all week at the conference, so if you’re in Vegas, stop by Paris and say hi.
On Sunday, we had a free day to explore the strip so a few of us went to the roller coaster at New York. Later that night we went to the Stratosphere and tried the rides on the top. I discovered that I have a new fear of heights. There was one ride that throws you over the edge– ack! Poor Manny Johnson, I ended up squeezing the heck out of his hand when we went over the edge. Later that night, I woke up in the middle of a nightmare– the brakes on the ride failed and down we went.
Thank goodness it was only a dream.

I can’t believe you actually tried it! I’m not afraid of heights, but as an engineer it’s hard for me to accept someone else’s calculations, if you get my meanin’. (Then again, I wouldn’t have believed my own either, in this case!)
One thing I did enjoy about Vegas – the architecture along the Strip is downright amazing! My favorite edifice is New York, New York. Brilliant blending of building styles, wrapped in a roller coaster!
Oh, and did you see Elvis on the Brooklyn Bridge? 😀
You CANNOT miss the Fountains of Bellagio at night! It will totally make up for the roller coaster!!!
