As part of our visit, our friends brought up around the neighbourhood, in the American sense. It was a day tour that took up up to Carson City, into Virginia City, where the main tour was, and then passing through Reno before we headed back home.
Virginia City sprang up as part of the gold rush of the 19th century. This is the wild west. There's even a museum, The Way It Was Museum, that depicted how life was like back in the days of the gold rush.
The Bucket of Blood Saloon is a famous landmark in the town.
And there's the famous Suicide Table.
And this desk here was supposedly Mark Twain's desk.
Along the way, we passed by vast stretches of land, and even caught a glimpse of wild horses.
On the way back from Reno, we passed by Lake Tahoe. It's the largest alpine lake in North America, and has many ski resorts. Our stay was too short to go skiing, but that's didn't stop us from getting a few nice pictures of the lake.
