Today was another day of traveling! We were sad to leave the Grand Canyon but excited for Las Vegas! Along the way we stopped at Route 66, "where we got our kicks!"It was cool to see such a historic place. The Route 66 had some amazing old cars and we even ran into a group of bikers with some cool bikes! It was also fun to learn that the Disney show Cars was even inspired by this historic site! Some of us had some coffee and we explored for a bit than we continued on our journey! It took awhile but we made it to VEGAS!!!!
We were able to shop at the outlets and get some new things. Some of us got clothes, some got sun glasses or shoes. We all got a little something we needed from stores such as Adidas, Ralph Lauren and Foot Locker. After shopping we headed to the Stratosphere!
At the Stratosphere we were able to go up 109 floors and look at Vegas from above! It was pretty sweet! Some of us than continued on to ride some of the thrill rides. They were scary but pretty awesome... especially the claw!!! It was neat because we basically experienced hanging off the building on two of the rides! After the claw we are at the Buffet downstairs in the hotel! We had delicious bread pudding, sushi, wings, rice, delicious meat!!!! I think everyone was pretty impressed with the selection!!! Yummy!!! We than went to the Bellagio and were able to explore the strip! It was Amazing to see the lights!!!! We were even able to take some pretty funny pictures with the people dressed up on the strip! Now we are back enjoying the pool while others are at the Cirque de Soleil show O.

Entry Two:
Today we had a traveling day, we drove from the Grand Canyon to... LAS VEGAS! We left in the morning and we had our first stop at Route 66 which was really cool! The route 66 stop was awesome because it was a really small American town and there was a lot of old cars and motorcycles. It was also the most famous highway in America at one time. We learned that it isn't really traveled anymore but it still is a part of American history and pop culture.
After that we went to the outlet mall in Vegas. We stayed in the mall for some shopping and ate lunch. After we left to go to our hotel, a really nice hotel, with an outdoor pool and a pretty nice fitness room. We had a little bit of time to get ready and we left for the Stratosphere hotel a casino with three rides. SCARY RIDES. After the rides and a little of free time we went to eat at the buffet, it was really nice food. Our favorite food was the Sushi. When we finished eating we went to the Bellagio, a really famous hotel in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. In Las Vegas every hotel has a casino. During our free time we got to see the water show and go around Vegas at night time. It was crazy, Vegas at the night is beautiful and so big.
Then we had to split up into two groups, because some of the exchange students didn't go to "O Cirque du Soleil" so some of us had to go back at the hotel and the other students had to head to the show. The show "O cirque du Soleil" was just amazing and left us speechless. When you watched you don't really understand the story because there is a lot everywhere but that's just so cool. There was constant acrobats, the people in the show were so strong and capable of doing amazing things! We cannot even begin to describe it all! One of the best part was the moment with the fire, because all around the guys it was water and they mix two natural elements. When the show finished, TiCi organized a little surprise she rented a Bus Limo and we had so much fun to dance and had music so loud.
