 On our journey two little cuddly Furbys have been accombanying us for a few days. We rescued them from the cruel hand of a mean fast food giant. They are happy now that they get to see more of the world than the inside of a boring kids meal bag. |  The Hoover dam at Colorado River forms the reservoir Lake Meade and hosts a hydro-electric power plant to produce the large amounts of electricity the glittering citys of Neveada need for their millions of light bulbs. |  The dam has just a narrow road with two lanes so the traffic is going mad. |
 We don't get out of the car to visit the dam walking. The parking situation is chaotic although there are over twenty parking lots. |  The river and the dam form the border between the Mountain Standard Time in Arizona... |  ... and the Pacific Standard Time in Nevada. We win an hour! |
 Far away we can see Lake Meade. |  We enter Las Vegas for the second time this year, but this time we're coming from the other side, from the west and in the light. |  The clouds look very dramatic and as we get to ur shady hotel, it's starting to rain. |
We don't spend New Year's Eve as fabulous as in Barcelona a year ago. The buffett is bad, but cheap. Later we drive to downtown and walk around there for a while. We spend the time until midnight playing dice in the casino of our hotel. Half an hour later we're in bed.
12-1-2006 Las Vegas, Nevada - Monterey, Kalifornien
So we can drive a long way on the next day to arrive in Monterey late at night.
