17th of December 2007: Sunset on Vegas
Nothing much happens today except more shopping, an amazing sunset (welcome to Christmas in Vegas!):
And a bloody good dinner at Archi's Thai Kitchen, now possibly my favourite restaurant of all time. We split a big dish of Pak Bung (Thai cabbage) which they don't actually list on the menu - it's a gorgeous sweet and crunchy dark green vegetable which they cook lightly with a load of garlic and chilli, fabulously flavoursome - and Pad Kea Mow, a hot dish with sheet noodles, baby corn, beautifully finished tofu (never thought I'd enjoy tofu!) and these tiny little mushrooms which explode with flavour of their own even through the heavily seasoned sauce. Bloody amazing stuff. I washed it down with a huge glass of sweet, creamy, slightly spiced Thai Tea over crushed ice. Soooo gooood.
Deidre and Mark will be heading out to Arizona again at the weekend to spend Christmas with Deidre's family. I've decided to stay in Vegas, probably check into a hostel on Sunday night as it'll be nice to have some company over the Christmas week. A bunch of folks from the Adelaide Hostel are, by weird coincidence, coming into Vegas for Christmas so I'll be spending at least a bit of time with them, which is cool. I'll be here until New Years on the current plan, and after that I'll head back to San Francisco for a while, probably stopping in Reno on the way.
