Jenny's Turn

Yep, that's right, this is Jenny writing a guest blog for Me and Syd! Mostly, Lindsay needs time to plan her trip home because unfortunately for you all you faithful blog readers, tomorrow she starts the long road home. Even though she has access to a laptop, she's sitting in the coffee shop using an atlas! How quaint, right?

First thing's first, my beer and salsa arrived safely from Texas. Phew. I didn't have to publicly shame Lindsay. I arrived at Lake Tahoe last week for a few night stay in our time share. I was eager to get down to the beach because, well it's Lake Tahoe. And it was freaking cold! While on the beach people were laying out in swimsuits. One woman in her bikini took a swim! The water is 45 degrees. At the same time Lindsay had on multiple layers, wrapped in a blanket. The next day we hit part of the Tahoe Rim trail, though it's pretty is not as close to the lake as the name suggests. Lindsay hiked in her motorcycle jacket. Full on leather motorcycle jacket! I was in a t-shirt. Between my out of shapedness and the altitude I'm lucky I didn't pass out. This trip I've been eyeballing old people and wondering if they'd give me a hit off their oxygen tank.

After doing a fair amount of nothing at the time share in North Lake Tahoe, we headed out to Grover Hot Springs to camp. This was a lovely, albeit expensive camp ground. With a swimming pool and hot springs pool that we hit twice. It was a lower altitude and much warmer. Lindsay made a one match campfire! We avoided bear attacks, though had a few words with the ground squirrels. We won. Barely.

With campfire perfume still lingering, we headed to South Lake Tahoe for the last leg of our journey. We started this part of the adventure at the spa with massages. Now we're talking! We checked into our casino hotel, then off to a dinner cruise on Lake Tahoe. Amazing! Good views, good food, and great company!

Then, of course, along the way there were the typical Lindsay/Jenny activities: bowling, air hockey, pool, mini golf, air hockey, movies, cooking (though Lindsay did all the cooking-YUM!), and eating.

Keep reading! Over and out.

Love, Jwo
