As we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and of course I had done my research and chosen 4 brunch places for our 3 mornings. Today we decided to start with the closest to us. Makers & Finders. I chose poached eggs with veggies on arepas and a coffee. Although they had forgotten to add coffee to the hot water, they served it with a little jar of milk, so after adding the milk to the hot water, it wasn't transparent at least anymore. The arepas were covered with grilled veggies and topped up with poached eggs and chimichurri. Chimichurri was the only thing on the plate that added any kind of flavour to the food and they had been fairly frugal with it. We asked some more chimichurri and sauce hollandaise. It made the food somewhat better, but hardly enough.
Remembering fmor last night, how sugar saved the night, I decided that to compensate the disappointment this morning I need a Dairy Queen. We walked to the nearby shopping paradise. They called it outlet center, but had forgotten to downdate the prices according to outlet ones. I stepped into Dairy Queen with the plan to get the most chocolatey chocolate ice cream. The plan was good until I saw Reese Superblizzard on the menu. Reese is the one making those delicious peanut butter sweets. The girl, who told me that the Reese's Blizzard is totally out of this world, even turned the cup upside down to prove me what amazing ice cream she just prepared for me. And the only thing, I could think of was the Dairy Queen in Howell, where the lady warmed the cup so long in her hand that she wouldn't have even needed to turn the cup around - the ice cream would have been all over the floor halfway already. After the ice cream break we made our way to the downtown to look around on the Fremont Street and in container park. There's still space for improvement for sidewalks in this country. First, there are way less sidewalks than roads here and second, here in Las Vegas, they haven't visually marked any of the driveways, but physically you can feel them all. I stumbled on those unexpected height differences every few hundred feet. But maybe that's why they don't design and build more sidewalks, because you can't really walk on them anyway.
We made it to the Fremont Street and the city brightened up. We stopped in few casinos, looked at the old neon signs and all the lit up facades. In Fremont's five blocks every day 12,5 million LED lights are lit. We continued to the container park that's a center built of old containers full of shops, restaurants, terraces, huge playground and a stage. And it has a huge metal praying mantis in front of it that is supposed to get alive in the night, start some fires and jump up and down. We decided to return for the sunset.
By that time the time was reasonable for late lunch or early dinner and we went to our arepa joint for another try. To make it more interesting, we walked there through all the streets that were on those 3 kilometers between us and the arepas. Turned out that at 3pm the joint was open and we ordered our arepas. I managed not to get exactly what I wanted, but it was still very good. Another try tomorrow. One day it has to work out!
Short stop in the hotel and by sunset we found ourselves by the praying mantis again. We watched the show, had some beer and by 7pm went back to Fremont street, because it was time for the grandiose light show. Turned out that they called the 6-minute animation of little green men that was shown on the ceiling that was covering several hundred meters of the street, a light show.
