Primm Valley and Red Rock, NV


Terry has been invited back for a stay at the Primm Valley Resort at the Nevada state line.


She likes the slot machines there, and the resort is fond of inviting her back to play on them.


So, Andy and Terry decide to take a drive to Primm for a change of scenery.


The following day, Andy wants to get away from the casino, so they drive back up to Red Rock Canyon, southwest of Las Vegas.


The last time they were here there was a freak snowstorm.





This time they can concentrate on the scenery without a cover of snow.
















Later that day, they are able to meet up with Terry's brother, who is in town for several weeks working on a construction job.


They have a nice time in Primm, and Terry has won a modest amount of money.

She already wants to come back.


The next visit here may be at the end of June, when The Pointer Sisters perform at Buffalo Bill's.












Hsi Lai Lunch


Just the other day, after Aerobics Class, Terry and Andy joined some friends to visit the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple for lunch.




Hsi Lai is the largest Buddhist Temple outside of Asia.

It's located on a hillside in Hacienda Heights.


At lunchtime they serve a vegetarian meal for $7, so Andy and Terry had to try it out. The cafeteria style meal was pretty good.
Quite a few people were there for lunch.



After eating they strolled around the grounds. This is a huge and impressive place.




Andy and Terry will be going back to the Las Vegas area in a few weeks. Check back later.
