Reno day 2

Let me see, where were we??

Oh yes, Reno!!

After waking up on Friday morning, I text family and in a few met for breakfast at Biscotti’s. (by the way.. great potatoes) and I was very excited to find out the waitress could get soy for my coffee.

Mike and Joie and I decided to get ourselves together to go to Virginia City, NV.

There we met all sorts of interesting people.

0828090959Here you see Diamond Jim

He was in the visitors center – helping people find things to do and tours to go on. He made suggestions for a stagecoach ride and a mine tour.

After we bought our tickets and headed down the street, I began to hear “ching, ching, ching” the sound of spurs kept getting louder. I looked up and the first thing I saw was a red sash. It was a COWBOY ala Tombstone!

He challenged me to tell him who he was and if I was right,100_0629 he’d allow me take a photo with him. Well that was easy.. the mustache, the sleek hair, the dark clothing, why it was JOHNNY RINGO!!! Having guessed correctly – I got my prize!

Yes, strange as it seems, it excited me greatly to have photo taken with this man.

We stayed in Virginia City for a few hours, but then headed back to Reno for the main event. The WEDDING!!!
