Day 3 - It's Dam Hot!

Ok, firstly last night we went and saw the Beatles Cirque du Soleil show - which was amazing! There were people on bungees flying across the theatre, people on ropes, see-saws suspended in the air and people on rollerskates summersalting off half pipe ramps. They also used trampolines for one of the songs, which had people bouncing all across the stage. Definitely worth watching!

Today we picked up our hire car and drove to the Hoover Dam. We had a tour of the inside of the dam, and saw the generators, stood on top of one of the pipes transporting the water and viewed the dam from halfway up through an air vent! Apparently the dam is made of the same amount of concrete as the amount needed to build a 4ft wide path around the equator, and the quantity of water in Lake Mead behind the dam would cover the whole of Pennslyvania. We also walked across the Memorial bridge which is situated opposite the dam.

We're starting to get a bit fed up of the heat - reached 46 degrees C today! stinky to say the least! We did get some rain yesterday morning, but its still as hot, and it just made it really humid and hot. Its making us appreciate the great British summer!
