Las Vegas !!!!!

But not the Las Vegas you think of . 

God knows I hate Las Vegas Nevada - where I have spent a few trips for the (supposedly professional ) CES (I say supposedly because I have rapidly enough understood that my fellow French Internet professional were much more into casinos, night out and ... Eh, yes, hookers, than into work down there. Exactly the kind of things you just don t want to know about your boss when you meet his wife at work often-  for myself it was more a way to get in my beloved West for some time in the desert, all expenses paid, and for some strange meeting with a coyote that I will tell you sometimes)

So we are obviously not in Las Vegas Nevada 
but 
in the much more interesting Las Vegas New Mexico - this part of West that once was a terrible territory full of fight and fury - Billy the Kid, Indian wars, miners, I think this earth has seen about anything a poor earth can see from the worst of humanity.

But today it is, viewed form the highway (hum, probably quite a superficial view, I admit that easily) a peaceful place with gorgeous mountains , ranches where horses can be seen pacing gracefully, and an interesting city where I plan to spend a few days with Noé , my son, to introduce him to the Wild West history.

We are in an rv park , still a bit tired of the trip from Pojoaque - yes I must admit that sometimes, when you hook, drive in the mountians (and there are work on roads everywhere ! What a stress when you are huge and the road is narrowed everywhere with workers near you fifth wheel on the right and holes in the road on the left !) , unhook, 
you don t feel like rushing out immediately to discover the land you have arrived in.

But we will hang in Las Vegas tomorrow, and maybe find a place to listen to some good music. I want to listen to some country music and see my son experience the "live sound" for once - in France there are nearly no place where you can listen to a live band play, apart from the huge pop stars concerts-

Want to take a French tourist and his son out for a ride ? Applications welcome, I would love to discover this place with the help of some American Cowboy or Indian...
