Google maps doesn't always pick the best routes...
It took us down through the strip, and past some really questionable parts of town.
We found our destination - a beautiful and amazingly peaceful location up against the foothills.
The wind came up, and it was a little chilly, but we enjoyed a brisk walk around the grounds...
I didn't want to go back the way we came, so I studied our map and found that there was a road that went straight through that would have gotten us here so much faster - and without having to go downtown at all.
I'm getting better at the map thing - I have to. Hubby keeps getting us lost, so I have to find him and get him back on track.
I'm worried about how he'll get around when I have to go back home!
We also checked out our apartment. We were hoping that we could get in and unload the truck - driving around this city with all our belongings in the back, is a bit nerve-wracking.
The company hasn't sent the check yet, so the manager couldn't let us move in, but she did take us on a tour of the models. Tiny, tiny - can't move all of our stuff in here for sure, but it will be a fun little stopping spot for now...
Driving around here is pretty stressful, so we came back to the motel and just watched Christmas movies. I looked up a few houses for us to look at, and drew my own maps to find them.
We're finding that this city is laid out pretty much like Reno is - there are main roads that run the length and breadth of it, and the freeway circles around the outside. I don't think it will take us too long to find our way around, but we will for sure need a more economical car!
