Las Vegas & The Grand Canyon

Hi all,

We got married on the 1^st of March (Thursday) at 10:30 am.

We took a taxi down town to the marriage license bureau. Things went really smoothly. They didn’t ask for any of the translated papers we brought from home (and cost us a lot of money). Afterwards we headed to the court house to get married. On the way, few people bothered us on the street and offered us to do the ceremony at their chapel.

When we got to the court house, we realized that we are short of a witness. We started asking people around if they mind, all as a matter of fact did mind. Some because they worked over there and some just because they are asses!!!!!

Finally, Doron found a man on the street (Jonathan). I though it was very generous of him to help us but when the whole thing was over, Doron told me he paid him 20 bucks. And I say….”where is the love”?

Anyway, back to the ceremony…
A woman was sitting in the front desk and asked us for all our papers. Afterwards we entered the chamber with Jonathan and waited for her a lifetime…
Finally, she arrived and the ceremony began. We stood one in front of the other and took our oaths. Doron found it a bit funny and I must add that it was a bit absurd but we got married J.

The rest of the day was casual…we took a taxi back to the strip and continued our touring. I’m taking comfort in the fact that next week we are going to our honeymoon at Bora Bora.

So far our gambling budget is still on the plus side, Doron won 130$ playing the roulette and lost 50$ playing Poker. So, for now we are up 80 bucks.

The day after our wedding we rented a car and started our trip to the Grand Canyon. We started our ride at noon cause we stopped to buy a new bag and to ship some clothes back home. We bought an orange colored bag with wheels and with an option to carry it on the back (“Hores”).

The driving went great until we decided (According to our stupid GPS program) to get off the main road and drive through a different one. That was a huge mistake. The road was unmarked with no road signs, only for speed limit and animals crossing the road cautions. No cars except us and sunset (Not in a good way… I mean dark). After a little while we started to think that maybe it’s a good idea to turn around and go back to the main road. For an unknown reason, we didn’t. We continued on the dark scary road. Like that was not enough…soon animals begin to attack us. It started with a bull that decided to cross the road right in front of us. I saved our lives and hit the breaks although the bastard did see it coming. After calming down, we continued, few minutes later a skunk was running across the road. Again, I saved lives. Other then those two, there were a rabbit, a deer and a giant squirrel that attacked us and the fuel was running out with no gas station in the horizon. We decided to turn around and head back to the main road.

We found a “holiday inn” on the next town and spent the night there.
The next day we went seeing he Grand Canyon took a lot of pictures and drove back to Vegas.

On Monday we are flying to San Francisco and a few days later to our honey moon at Bora Bora.

We uploaded some picture from Vegas and the Grand Canyon so check them out.
