Day or Night?

Which looks like it was more fun...

Day?

Day?


Or night?


For me, I thought the Pioneer and the Cowboy was more appealing in the day because their theme of old-timey West was so thoroughly done and really kind of cute. The Colorado Belle looked older and creakier in the daytime, but at night the lights gave it a grander aura.

Koi and Ducks

The moat around the Colorado Belle was overrun with koi. The laziest and most well-trained koi I'd ever seen; all you needed to do was hold your empty hand over the rail and hundreds of fish would rush toward you, poking their faces above the water with open mouths, waiting to be fed. The number of coins on the bottom made me wonder how many of them had dimes and pennies in their bellies by mistake! The ducks fought for our attention too, as you can see.

Postcard from Laughlin

The Colorado River in Laughlin Nevada, which I somehow managed to make look prettier than it actually was. :)

Casino Riverboat on the Fox River

This is the Grand Victoria casino riverboat in Elgin. It never leaves the dock, which is a good thing because it's well and truly frozen into the water. (Best viewed at largest size.)
