My husband and I were starving when we got there at 10:30 a.m (o.k. I confess...I was starving) so we landed at a vibrant and colorful restaurant in the hotel called Biscotti.
I could not decide what to order; there was a lemon ricotta pancake, bourbon vanilla french toast, etc. but I decided to order something hearty since our next meal was not going to be until 9:00 p.m. I figured that if we get stranded in the desert while viewing the eclipse I will have a lot of fat on reserve that would keep me alive for a couple of days at the most. So I decided on the short rib hash. It was a very good decision. Big chunks of tender short ribs with potatoes topped with 2 poached eggs cooked to perfection and bearnaise sauce on top. Not bad at all. Otto just had some scrambled eggs with sausage and toast (nothing special; therefore no picture).
After this nice breakfast, we were ready to conquer the day and patiently wait for the eclipse on Pyramid Lake. The wait was worth it. Equipped with welder's glasses, we were able to see something that most people only saw on T.V. or the Internet. I took pictures of the clouds that had pretty colors on them before the eclipse occurred. Can't explain the reflections.
My pictures were taken with my smart phone. I didn't have a fancy camera with the necessary lenses. Sorry, Ryan!
