The smudge of white in the first picture is the Bellagio fountains as seen from my room last night. Started off today early with breakfast at the Original Pancake House with Alexandra, whom I became friends with via Folawns in San Antonio and who now has her own business inside HairArts Spa in Vegas. She's a magnificent aesthetician, and if you're even vaguely interested in energy or ayurveda, I highly recommend her. Even for folks just visiting Vegas, it's worth the trip. She treated me to breakfast, a facial, and did the round-trip pickup from my hotel. Gotta figure out a way to pay her back, which I'm hoping will happen when she and the hubby visit D.C. (hint hint hint).
