CA-NV

Road Trip day 1: we drove over 400 miles from Del Mar, CA to Mesquite, NV. The temps outside were above 100˚F for six hours but our rental Corolla kept us cool as vast lunar landscapes rolled by to left and right, the sky an expressionless blue. We stopped at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas (50th anniversary!) for dinner, but were unable to assist Laocöon, trapped beneath the fickle false sky of America's splendid fake.
