Safe and sound in Council Bluffs

We left Fargo at 8AM and got into Council Bluffs at 2. Travel was pretty good except for the wind. It caused snow blowing across the highway for the first part of the trip. It didn't cause a whiteout but was pretty close at times. We were always able to see the lane markers though, it was just a little tough driving because the wind kept trying to push the car. The further we continued south the better it got though.

It was -20C when we left Fargo and +1 when we got to Council Bluffs. There is virtually no snow here which is great.

Forgot to mention in last post, as we were driving, Katie said look at the rainbow. Sure enough it was plainly visible, strange site when there is no rain. Katie took a picture through the sun roof, doesn't really do justice to the rainbow but a weird occurrence nevertheless.

We checked into Harrah's and got our free room. Very nice spacious room with marble floors in the bathroom and gold fixtures. Not as nice as the presidential suite we were in last year, but now they found out who we really are....no one!

After we got settled it was off to the Casino downstairs. After some heavy slugging by both of us we managed to come up with $680 profit for the night.

The Loot

We stopped to have supper at the buffet, that was a mistake as the word "buffet" always means "eat too much".

We are here for another day, so tomorrow Thursday we will go the Horseshoe Casino which is still part of Harrah's chain but in another area of Council Bluffs. We like that one, it is a bit bigger, but we will see if it will be good to us today.

more later....

More loot tonight $800, we have a ten hour drive to Denton Texas tomorrow...so will update the blog about today...after the drive...

more later...
