Lake Tahoe Gets A Definite Thumbs-up

We've been at Lake Tahoe since yesterday after having a beautiful drive down from San Francisco. It's very beautiful here and well worth the drive. Today we did a "tourist" trip and took a paddle boat ride on the Lake to Emerald Bay. It was an absolutely stunning, picture, perfect day for the trip.

After the 2 hour trip we decided to drive all the way around the Lake. We are staying at South Lake. When we reached North Lake and on into Nevada we realizes the true beauty of the the Lake Tahoe Area.

There is already quite a bit of snow around but not really enough for serious skiing and the roads are all still clear. A few icy patches but nothing treacherous.

It's really bizarre how as soon as you cross the Nevada state line it's just suddenly wall to wall casinos!

It was really a beautiful day. After lots of lovely fresh air and lots of natural beauty, we went back to our Hotel in the evening and watched "The Devil wears Prada".

Well, why not?
