Tour of the City

Our day started at 8am Saturday morning and it didn't end until 3 am this morning! Saturday we took a tour of the city! It was fun, exhilarating, crazy,  so different, umm... I cannot even think of the appropriate adjectives to use! So you will all just have to check out the photos - they do speak 1000words each!

This made my laugh and have a flash back to high school leo club!



1935 built building - all the old architecture has the name of the family/business and date

At the ritzy hotel - we all got inside these giant blow up balls - and ran on water like mice!
