So after a late night on the town and then a massive breakfast prepared by Andy and Vicki, the 4 of us headed out to check out the Hoover Dam. We had been talking this thing up all trip, totally stoked to see it. Due to the late start we arrived to the dam just in time for the last tour. Despite the steep price for the tour (a combined 50$ for parking and 4 tickets) we were determined to see this dam in all its majesty and grandeur. To our dissapointment, the tour itself was shorter than the time we spent in the elevator, descending 500 feet to the base of the dam. Oh well, we were not phased at all... Holly cornered the tour guide once the tour was done and we grilled him with questions for another 30 minutes or so. So I guess in the end we got our money's worth! This brings me to another point... he instantly recognized our "accents" as Canadian. Many other people climbing near us have noticed this too. I didn't think our speech was that distinct!
