You bet I’m your lucky bear

So PoOn came to town and Nicholas started talking about his favourite station, the Santa Fe station where he goes to indulge in gluttinous overeating at their ridiculously cheap local’s buffet.

“Has Sumi been there yet?” PoOn asked.

Exactly the right question.  Why HAVEN’T I been there yet when it’s my bud’s favourite station?

So it was settled.  We were going to Nicholas’ favourite station and I was coming.

Well the buffet was just O.K.  Not really much in the way of foods I like, but everyone else seemed to like it fine.

Then it was time for BUFFALO!  One of Nicholas’ favourite games at the Station Casino is the Buffalo Slots machine.  Because it says BUFFALO!!  There was a bears one too but somehow that wasn’t as interesting.  Probably because I wasn’t in it.

So we sat down and started gaming.  Time to bust out my lucky bear skillz!

And I won!  You know it!!!!  This game is easy.  I should play it more often!  Then Nicholas wouldn’t have to raid my bear box as often.

Quick impressions of Santa Fe

Just about everyone we told about being in New Mexico said we should go to Santa Fe.  So the morning after camping at White Sands Nicholas and Pokin packed up the bags while I waited in the back seat, and then we drove on up.

I’m not sure what we were expecting.  It seems to be a town geared towards selling junk to tourists.

There’s a church.

And an older one that we didn’t pay to go in..  And lots of souvenirs.  Oh and lots of peppers.
