Sam's Town
We left Hollywood after gambling for a long time and tried our luck at Sam's Town. For the night, we ended up $14!
Titanic
Impressively big Titanic set.
Very cool car
Love it!
Elvis prop
I totally forgot Hollywood had props in their casinos. This one is on-theme for our trip!
Hollywood Casino
We got to Tunica, MS around dinner time. Our first stop was the Hollywood Casino.
On our way!
As usual, we didn't leave as early as we would have liked but we're not really in a hurry. Here we go!
Europcar
It took us a while to find the Europcar return garage. The sign was SO tiny!
Mileage
For the first part of our trip we drove 728.8 km or 452.9 miles.
McDonald's is closer!
I cann’t strees enough how much we were looking forward to McDonald’s. In all of our travels we have never gone to a McDonald’s overseas. It was a bit of a defeat but we were hungry!
One last shot
We saw one last good shot of a Jacob’s Ladder in the storm before we moved on. We pulled over really quickly to take it!
Jacob's Ladder
We took a ton of pictures of the storm. It had all kinds of sunbeams poking through it (Jacob’s Ladders).
Windmills!
More windmills! Spain is very eco-friendly! As you can see, it was also about to rain. Ick.
Empty road
Everywhere we drove in Spain there as not a lot along the side of the road. Lots of open spaces.
