"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Evening...Reno
One of the best things on vacation is you can change directions without preamble. We ended up going down toward Carson City, then up across the mountains (8,000 feet) past Mount Rose, took an hours hike along the edge of Mt. Rose, then drove down in Lake Tahoe. If you have never seen Lake Tahoe - it is a visually stunning place. The aforementioned dinner was excellent - simple outstanding. The scallops were done in a light cream sauce with aged cheddar cheese and spices. The sauce was excellent and the scallops done to perfection. All in all in has been a great day. Going to rest a little and then wander out to see the bright lights of the biggest little city in the world.
