X-mas and Las Vegas

I celebrated the American Christmas on Christmas day, like Americans do. We started with a good big breakfast with croissants, different fruits, bread, cheese, egg, bacon, champagne and coffee. Delicious!
After breakfast it was time to get ready - we dressed up nice and finished the food we were gonna bring to Celeste and Marcus (were we had our christmas dinner). Before going over there we went to the airport to pick up Renee (my hostsister). Christmas dinner was really good! There was a lot off food!! Appetizers, lasagna, three kinds of meat, salad, plenty of dessert and other stuff I don't remember. After dinner we went home and it was finally time to open all the presents! I got some clothes, money and then the Vegas trip from my hostparents ;)

Early in the morning the 26 we left Arizona to g Las Vegas! We planned to leave at 7 but left at 8:45...
It only takes 4 hours to Vegas so it was an easy ride. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get coffee and donuts, think it was the first time I stopped there - other american experience!
We got to Vegas around 1 PM and checked in at our hotel which was huge!! we spent the rest of the day walking around on "the strip" (the main road in Vegas). Soo cool! It felt like walking around the world. There was a Paris corner with a copy of the eiffel tower, french food etc. and then therewas an Italian corner with plenty of stores and stuff. The mall was built so it looked like Venice with water and gondolas. New York, China and lots of other places were represented as well. For Dinner we ate japanese. Sat at the same table as a american rapper that I didn't know haha, still cool.

After a long night up we woke up at almost noon. We had some lunch/breakfast at a small local restaurant (I had a waffel with syrup and butter) and then went to take picture in fron of the famous Welcome to Vegas sign.
Later we went to "the old Vegas". That was awesome! There were so many sparkling lights, bands playing music and crazy people everywhere! Vegas was like in the movies and I had an amazing time!!
I will post some pictures soon ;) and then the rest on facebook!
