Red Golden Pig - part 12

Dear Keli,
I went to the desert today, a place called Death Valley.
I know why they call it that. It is a scarey place.
I found out the desert is not a place for pigs. the temperature was 117 degrees!
I drank all my water in about 15 minutes - 4 bottles worth.
I felt like I was standing next to an enormous hair dryer, it was very hot and windy.
I lost my sense of direction and was very thirsty.
I thought the trip was over.

then, I saw a stranger pull up in a pink cadillac.
I asked him where he was going, he sang "vegas, viva las vegas."
I thought that sounded like a better place then death valley.
I got in, he was wearing lots of sequins. they sparkled in the desert sun.
I asked where he was from, he said memphis.
I think he owns land there, a mansion or something, he said he may need some zoning help.
I offered him some money for the trip and he said "thank you, thank you very much."

I got dropped off in Vegas and the stranger disappeared down the strip. he was nice.
I tried to go into the casinos, but pigs are not allowed in casinos here.
I couldn't make any money for us keli!
I have a good poker face too, i would have done real well.
