vacation ups and downs day 2

This is really day three but Chris says the best part of being on vacation is forgetting what day it is.  That is all well and good if you don't have an itinerary, but we do, at least for tomorrow we do.  We will be taking the train to the Grand Canyon.  We have a tight schedule for the trip.  I hope we make it.  We have to Board the train at 9:15  we might miss the "wild West" show, which is probably just like the one in Pioneertown and Oatman and dozens of other places, including Knotts Berry Farm.  I won't be upset if I miss that.

I could give a pass on the food and entertainment at the Grand Depot Cafe.  It wasn't bad but it wasn't great.  The entertainment, however was downright painful.  One guy, singing, playing guitar and drums and "singing" from a list of songs.  I suppose the idea is that you request from his list and tip him.  Can I give him 20 bucks not to play for an hour?  Perhaps we should ask his hourly rate and take up a collection.  Chris and I were playing a ghastly version of "name that tune" based n his playlist and the lyrics we could understand.  He mumbled, some and either swallowed or made up the rest.  We took pity on the server for having to listen to that and tipped her "hazard pay"

Speaking of food, and when do I not?  We made a visit last night to our favorite place in Laughlin, Bumbleberry Flats.  We had an outstanding meal, we shared the twisted turkey dinner;which featured a sage stuffing waffle.  Some places have taken to making waffle-esque things out of mashed potatoes and stuffing.  It was quite good and filling!  For breakfast we went to the Coyote Cafe II in Bullhead City.  Typical diner food but really attentive servers and a pleasant vibe.

We will try the breakfast and as it is part of the package probably go back for dinner at the Depot Cafe.  Nothing to write home about.
