The Sun Also Rises

Like negative space in a painting or a picture, Ernest Hemingway wrote the title, "The Sun Also Rises" with the intention that the sun was setting. In some ways, the hot sun of Mexico was setting. With it, it feels like our Summer is slipping away. However, we have some serious adventures ahead!

Jessica and I started our trek back to the states with some apprehension. We were nervous that we might starve if we left the all inclusive. We were also excited about what lay ahead. 

Jessica joined my Mom and I in Lake Tahoe where we pretty much watched sunsets. The we would argue about the colors in the mountains. Check out the video below and let me know (in the comment field) what you think the colors are. 

Other than watching sunsets, we also went to Cal Neva to check out the "tunnel tour", where we learned about the Frank Sinatra & Marilyn Monroe cabins, and the "dead lake" of Lake Tahoe. Apparently, Frank Sinatra bought the hotel resort for a paltry sum from a mobster that owed a lot in back taxes. Frank had a long lived desire of owning the Cal Neva and marrying Ava Gardner. He consecrated this dream with an inscription in the tunnels underneath the Cal Neva in 1946. The same tunnels that JFK walked while he was in the Cal Neva to stay away from the crowds. Cal Neva was spectacular. 

After some fried Zucchini at Sunny Side (a restaurant in the West Shore), Jessica flew off to spend some time in LA and Jason spent another 4 days in Tahoe watching sunsets. 

Cheers,

Jason & Jessica
