Youtube News: Youtube daily report w May 21 2017

Hi, it's Maija here, and today I'm giving out recommendations for science fiction and

fantasy books that have main characters of color and are written by people of color.

This video is part of the BooktubeSFF Babbles, and I will leave a link to the BooktubeSFF

Awards Goodreads group down below.

Let's get on with the recommendations – these are in alphabetical order by book title.

My first recommendation is the science fiction novel Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi, and

the main character, Alana Quick, is a black lesbian woman with an autoimmune disease that

causes her to have chronic pain, and the author has fibromyalgia herself.

Alana Quick is a sky surgeon, a spaceship mechanic, who would love nothing more than

to experience life in space.

She decides to stow away on a spaceship called the Tangled Axon that lands on her yard looking

for her sister. And

upon discovery, she gets to know the crew and falls in love with the captain. There is

also a polyamorous relationship in this book.

My favourite thing in this book is Alana's relationship with her sister Nova, who is

a spirit guide. While Alana has chronic pain and wants to live her life to the fullest in the body

that she has, her sister would love nothing more than to leave her healthy body behind

and live as pure spirit.

They struggle to understand each other, but they do love each other. Now

this is a debut novel and it felt a bit uneven at times. I

did like the first half more than the second half, but I would most definitely pick up

the next thing that Jacqueline Koyanagi writes. And

I'd especially recommend this book if you liked A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet

by Becky Chambers.

Next I'd like to recommend Binti, a science fiction novella by Nnedi Okorafor.

The author's bio says: "Born in the United States to two Nigerian immigrant parents,

Nnedi is known for weaving African culture into creative, evocative settings and memorable

characters." And that's definitely what she does in Binti.

Binti is of the Himba people from Namibia, and she is the first of her people to be offered

a place at Oomza University, which offers the finest higher education in the galaxy.

But in order to attend, she will need to leave her people behind and board a spaceship, and

on the way she comes in contact with this alien race called the Meduse.

I liked how the novella focused on themes of home, culture, and belonging.

It was also the perfect length in my opinion, offering just enough information about the world.

Now, the plot, or a small part of the plot, actually reminded me of an animated movie

that I had seen not that long before, but that didn't bother me.

Now, this might be on everyone's list, but I highly recommend the epic apocalyptic fantasy

book The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. This is the first book in The Broken Earth trilogy.

This follows the story of three women with magical powers that are considered dangerous

in their world.

The book tackles topics of systematic oppression and also who gets to be considered to be people.

And about 90% of the characters are people of color.

My favorite thing about this book and the series so far is the main character, and how

emotionally invested I am in her story.

Both The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate got five stars from me. And N.K. Jemisin is

one of my favorite writers in general.

I also really loved her first novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, but that one's a lot more

divisive, some people I know really dislike it, so maybe don't start with that one?

Maybe start with this one.

Then for some short stories I'd recommend the People of Colo(u)r Destroy! series

from Lightspeed Magazine.

There are three issues: People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction, People of Colo(u)r

Destroy Fantasy and People of Colo(u)r Destroy Horror.

The issues include original short stories, some reprints, and some non-fiction, all from

creators of color.

The only one I've started reading so far is People of Colo(u)r Destroy Fantasy, and

it's been really good so far.

I loved "Black, Their Regalia" by Darcie Little Badger.

It's a short story that combines comedy with dark fantasy.

It's about a band called The Apparently Siblings, the three members are Native American, and

the story is set in a future with a spreading plague.

This story is also available online, and I will leave a link to it down below – go

read it if you're even a little bit goth.

The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson is a novella that I just finished last

month, and it combines science fiction with fantasy.

The story itself is a very fantasy-like story following a merchant caravan and its guards

on their journey, but the world has some science fictional elements.

The main character, Demane, is what is called a demigod, because he is descended from people

who came from the skies – and he does also have some special powers.

Also, the other guards in the caravan call him the Sorcerer, since he is a doctor and

his medical knowledge is so far beyond theirs that it seems like magic to them.

Demane is in love with the captain of the guard, who is also a demigod, and the novella focuses

on their relationship, as well as the caravan's journey through the dangerous Wildeeps.

I really liked the writing style, although occasionally it confused me and I had to reread

a few paragraphs now and then to get the timeline right.

Next I'd like to recommend a manga that I read quite a while ago, Tekkon Kinkreet

by Taiyo Matsumoto, and there's also an anime movie adaptation of this.

This tells of two street kids, Kuro and Shiro, or Black and White, who live in the yakuza-run

Treasure Town.

Since it's been such a long time since I read this, I've forgotten a lot of the specifics

of the plot, but Tekkon Kinkreet is also hard to describe when it comes to genre – it

has a mob story, violent and naive street orphans, but also some outworldly, surreal, and

mythical elements.

I agree with the Goodreads reviewer Pete Lee, who wrote: "Few people have clashed magical

realism with street nihilism the way Matsumoto has."

Tekkon Kinkreet won an Eisner Award in 2008, and I also really recommend the anime adaptation,

although I found that I understood the ending better once I had read the manga.

Now for a fantasy novelette, The Terracotta Bride by Zen Cho, who also wrote Sorcerer

to the Crown. And while I liked her novel, I really loved this novelette.

It is set in the Chinese afterlife, where the main character is forced to marry the

richest man in hell, who also later brings home a new wife, an artificial woman crafted

from terracotta.

And it is the relationship between the main character and this terracotta bride that is

the heart of the story, along with questions of love, life, death, and reincarnation.

Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed is the author's debut novel, and it's so much fun.

This is a pretty traditional fantasy story, a bit of sword and sorcery, but it's set in

the Middle East -inspired fantasy world called The Crescent Moon Kingdoms.

It's about an old ghoul-hunter Doctor Adoulla, his warrior apprentice Raseed, and Zamia,

who is a shapeshifting young woman.

They investigate supernatural murders in the midst of a power struggle between the Khalif

and a revolutionary called The Falcon Thief.

I especially liked that the main character was an old man who just wanted to sit down

in peace and have a cup of tea.

As always, I'd also recommend the beautifully written A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar, but

since I talked about this in my Underrated SFF books video, I will leave a link to that for you.

And as a final recommendation, most of the stuff written by Octavia Butler tends to have

a black female protagonist.

I am in the middle of her Seed to Harvest, or Patternmaster, series, which is the only

thing that I've read from Butler so far, and out of those my favourite was Mind of My Mind,

but there are a lot of books for you to choose from. Octavia Butler writes science fiction.

So those were all of my recommendations, but I'd also like to mention a couple of books

that are on my TBR.

First is Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn.

This is a superhero story with a Japanese-American main character, Evie Tanaka, and she is the

sidekick to a Chinese-American superhero.

Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno Garcia is a vampire story set in Mexico City.

And honestly, I don't need to know any more than that!

I also have The Winged Histories and Tender from Sofia Samatar on my list.

The Winged Histories is a story of four women caught up on the different sides of a violent

rebellion, and it's set in the same world as A Stranger in Olondria, and Tender is Sofia

Samatar's short story collection.

On my Kindle I have waiting for me Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova.

This is a young adult fantasy book about Alex, who is a bruja, the most powerful witch in

a generation, who has to travel to Los Lagos due to a spell gone wrong.

And my Overdrive hold from the library just came in, which is A Taste of Honey by Kai

Ashante Wilson, the second novella set in the same world as The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps.

The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden is an upcoming fantasy-science fiction mix that I'm really

looking forward to.

It's set in South Africa and it combines personal robots and an AI uprising with ancient demigoddesses

and young people with extraordinary powers.

It sounds really good and it's coming out in June.

So those were my recommendations.

Let me know if you have done this video topic, or just leave your recommendations in the

comments down below.

That's all from me, and I will see you in my next video!

The First Date Book Tag - Duration: 19:32.

Hi everyone, so I found this tag.

It's called the First Date Book Tag

Or the First Date Tag

And I really thought that the questions were very interesting and I liked them a lot

so it was very easy for me to find answers for most of these

so I thought it would be interesting for me to answer them.

And the first one -I actually have it printed-

The first one is the "Awkward First Date"

A book where something felt off. It wasn't a bad book, but it lacked that spark for you.

I feel like I might offend some people here because -I think most of this are kinda negative questions but-

this book in particular seems to be well-respected

And it is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

So this, like the question says, I don't think this is a bad book or anything but

there's something about it that is just

I think it's the fact that it starts with a set of characters that seem to be the main ones

and there's another character that's introduced like

2/3 of the way in the story [kind of an exaggeration, it's more like a third of the way in]

and he becomes the main character and it's kinda like "what". I think that's...

I think that's kinda hard to pull off and I don't think that this book did it

and it general the book seems very detached from reality

so it was hard for me to feel seriously concerned for this book in relation to

how the world seems to me in the present times.

So I didn't find it scary in any way

or felt that it was even realistic or

I don't think I could even say what the author was trying to propose

with this book, so I think that's what made me

kind of dislike it. I don't think it's bad, again,

but I probably should wait some years before I re-read it

So the next question is The Cheap First Date: a book that...

[fixing chair]

So the next question is "The Cheap First Date": a book that turned out less than you expected

and for this I am choosing Dracula.

So this book is of course a classic, quite long.

Basically I just thought that it would be scary and

and least kinda mysterious, but it wasn't. It was actually pretty boring

and I've seen plays, adaptations of this book that are much more entertaining

and interesting than the actual book. It was a chore to finish reading this because

at a point it just didn't seem interesting because of how slow it was.

And with the format of the diary entries and stuff it kinda needed to go slow

but it just didn't work for me, but I do understand why some people like it.

Still, it was slightly disappointing so that's why it was the answer for that question.

So the next one is a "Well Prepared First Date", which is a

book that is better than you expected.

This one was difficult because I don't tend to have

I don't tend to have low expectations when I go into a book

but this one, there's actually two answers for this one.

One is One Hundred Years of Solitude. I have already talked about this in my previous video

I actually had to read this for school, when I was in middle school

and I don't know what I expected from it but I didn't expect it to be this good

I knew it was a classic and all, but I don't think I had read many classics.

I think I was [also] reading Dracula at the time

but I just didn't expect it to be that good [because it was one of the first "great" books I ever read]

While I was reading it, even from the start I was like

"this is nice but I don't think it's very interesting" and then it became extremely so

and then when the end came I was like "this is the best thing that I've ever read".

It's not my favorite book now but at the time I think it was.

So yes, very impressed with this one.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez if I didn't say that

The second answer for this question is

"Nothing" by Janne Teller

I don't have a copy of that, but it's...

I also had to read that one for school, very recently,

and since it was a sort of YA, or supposed to be,

I just thought that it would be some random book, you know?

but I was very impressed by it again.

Not as much as with the previous book but it was much darker than I expected

Knowing that it was YA, and much more philosophical really.

I don't expect,

I mean, maybe I'm coming off snobbish

but I don't expect YA to have that much depth [I can expect it to be dark though, just not thought-provoking]

Next one is "Hot but Dumb"

and it's a book that's pretty on the outside but not so hot on the inside

This is one of the only hardcovers that I own

"Go Set A Watchman"

This is not that great, it's actually very mediocre

as a book, but I bought and read it knowing that

it was not going to be that good, but it was still very intriguing so

and it has this pretty print that's kinda similar to the first/second one TKAM

so yes, it's pretty but I pretty much just keep it because

it's a hardcover, and it's kinda hard to get rid of them I think.

So the next one is "Blind Date" which is a book you picked up not knowing anything about it.

and this one is "Chinese Cinderella" by Adeline Yen Mah

This I mostly bought as a souvenir, and it was among the Children's Books

I'm not sure what it is exactly, I would say it's a middle grade or YA

But it's like a memoir

Of this Chinese woman that basically has a difficult life

and she suffers a lot. And there's even a sequel[ish] that I also read

but this one I just bought knowing that it was a book about a young woman

and I read it. At the time I liked it, now it seems a bit more...

I don't know, I don't want to talk shit about memoirs because it seems kinda wrong

but it's not among the best books I've read.

And the next one is "Speed Dating" which is

a book that you read super fast.

I'm kind of ashamed to say that I read this fast, actually, this is Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

This I mostly read fast because

I had to make a report of it for school, for college, right?

but I forgot the end date, the last date to send it,

and when I realized, it had already been the last day.

So I just read it on that day [day I noticed] really fast out of guilt

I think it was just guilt that I was like "I need to finish this now" because I hadn't even started

reading when it was the end date so that was kind of shameful.

But you know, it's actually kinda funny now.

But whatever. "The Rebound"

is a book that you read too soon after a book hangover

and it kinda ruined the book for you.

Initially I didn't know exactly what was a [book] hangover

or what would make me not enjoy a book after reading another one

but then I realized what it meant, and I understood that maybe the reason why

I didn't like "Fahrenheit 451" so much

was because I read it too soon after "1984"

and I probably expected it to be too much like it.

and of course it's not, it's completely different, they're just dystopians

and ever since then I think I just try to not read books that are too similar

one after the other

There's other issues that I have with this book, especially the fact that

to me the characters seemed really shallow

and the whole book just seems really bland to me.

Again, maybe that's because I read "1984" just before this

but it just seemed bland and kind of like the characters

weren't very interesting, the storyline wasn't very interesting

the whole thing was just not enough for me.

So the next one is "Overly Enthusiastic Date"

a book that felt that it was trying too hard.

Again, I feel like I'm going to insult some people here but

Haruki Murakami's "Kafka On The Shore"

was

it was pretty bad for me

this book was pretty terrible in my opinion

Mainly because -okay- there seemed to be

I think this book is #1 in a goodreads list for surrealist novels

I mean people actually voted for this book as #1 of a surrealist novel, okay?

My issue with this, I have many issues actually,

I have several issues with this book. Pretty much every area that could go well goes wrong

The characters are not very interesting. They're actually pretty much the same one over and over

the main ones at least.

the other characters are either strawmen for the [political, but really general] ideas of the author

He tries to put his ideas directly into the character's mouths

and it's not even a book that's supposed to be about that

so it's kind of annoying, to be honest

The writing style is very difficult to like because

there's a lot of details that don't matter

at all, like, he goes to great detail just talking about the things that the main character had for breakfast

and there's a lot of things that just don't matter

and then there's things like -Okay-

supposedly the issue with this

is that the author is trying to mix the [mundane] with the surreal

and I do like surrealism, and I like magical realism, but

this to me, was something else.

To me this was just random

and I think that random is another category that's something that I don't like

It's something that is trying too hard.

Trying too hard to be interesting, to be different, but

it fails because it's either boring or it

it doesn't make sense, and not in the good way

the usual way of surrealism. It just doesn't make sense in a way that it actually

adds nothing to the story [or characters, setting, etc]

it doesn't mean anything. It's just trying to seem interesting, to be honest,

I didn't even finish reading, okay? Like I read 2/3 of this book

and I just gave up, I was like "Oh my God", honestly I don't even care about the characters that much which is a huge flaw

in itself. Not caring about them is something that shouldn't happen [at that point it makes the story itself boring]

but aside from that. The whole details thing

I mean, when he tells you why he's having eggs for breakfast and how he likes his eggs

and why, and this and that and the other,

I wouldn't even care about that if you told me that about Wolverine

like if you told me what Wolverine has for breakfast even I wouldn't care [it's unrelated to someone's person as a whole]

and I love him but seriously, a story has to be interesting.

It doesn't have to be interesting sometimes or at some points

It has to constantly have something to do with the rest of the things that are going on

don't have just pointless, meaningless sentences that just add length

to the book. That's just a huge flaw, the biggest flaw. At first it was

kind of cute, and then it seemed pretentious

and as it went on it was just [unbearable]

and it wasn't even enjoyable, it was

it wasn't even entertaining to read this book, okay?

it wasn't.even.entertaining.

So this book fails in all possible areas for me.

So yeah, that was a big rant, but

I don't like this book you guys, I'm sorry.

So yeah, let's go for something completely different.

The next one is "The Perfect First Date" which is a book that did everything right for you.

Now this is actually not my [all time] favorite book.

It's "All You Need Is Kill" by Hirashi -Hiroshi- Sakurazaka

I always get that first name wrong.

So Hiroshi Sakurazaka

and this is a science fiction book [surprise, surprise]

quite short, I think it's a Light Novel

So it's meant for -Well I'm not sure- but I think it's meant for teenagers

or young adults, I don't know, but it's not the same thing as YA [it's somewhat of a Japanese equivalent though, according to my later research]

So the point is that I like this book a lot. I like it...

but it's not my favorite one.

It's more like it doesn't have anything wrong with it.

But there's books that I like more than this one that do have flaws.

but it's just that I prefer to look over them because

I think that the things they offer as books are much higher than the flaws [what I struggled so much to say]

but this is a book that just doesn't have anything wrong with it. And I don't mean that it's average, like

it's a really great read. If you guys have seen Edge of Tomorrow

that book is based on this novel.

So, for example, this book starts out really strong, which some of my favorites don't.

This starts out really entertaining and strong from the very start.

and all of the characters are really interesting,

it only focuses on a couple of ones, but

they're very interesting, and you're very entertained while you're reading this

There's no parts, to me, in which the writing feels weak

or that it's just going too slow,

or anything like that.

The length feels appropriate for the things that go on

and it doesn't go into too many details that are unnecessary or whatever

and it has a great ending, which I think is the strongest point

of this book, especially in comparison to the movie, but just by itself,

the ending is really what makes it so good.

what I mean is that it doesn't necessarily give you a good [nice] ending,

it just gives you the ending that it's supposed to have, that makes sense for this story to have

and I really respect that for a book like this.

So yes, this is really good.

The next one is pretty difficult because it's the "Humiliating First Date"

and it is a book that you're embarrassed to admit that you liked or to be seen reading in public

for whatever reason.

and my answer for this one is "Twilight"

I don't like it anymore, but when I read it, I liked it.

I mean granted, I was like thirteen or twelve

but at some point I did like it, and it's kinda hard to admit it because

it's pretty bad. I mean its a pretty bad book.

So yeah.

So those were my answers for the First Date book tag.

I hope you liked this video, and if you want to do this tag then you are tagged.

There's none in particular that I would tag, I think, because they either don't do tags or they have already done it.

or they don't even know who I am, actually,

that's the main reason, they don't even know who I am.

Because you know, it's my second video, nobody knows at this point.

and needless to say I wasn't even tagged by anyone

but if I do think of someone I will put it down in the description box

Everything will be in the desc box, like the books that I mention and everything

and I'll put timestamps so yes.

I hope you guys enjoyed it, again, and

definitely tell me anything you think about this books

or what I said down below.

Thanks for watching, and bye until the next video.

Geometry: Measurement of Angles (Level 7 of 9) | Examples IV - Duration: 6:29.

Measurement of Angles Level 7 In this video we will go over more challenging

examples involving congruent angles and algebraic expressions.

Let's take a look at the first example.

Given that angle CAR is a right angle and the measurement of angle CAT is equal to 37

degrees 66 minutes 10 seconds, find the measurement of angle RAT.

In this problem we are provided with a figure, a classification of an angle and the measurement

of an angle.

We are asked to determine the measurement of an angle.

Let's start the problem by labeling the given information on the diagram.

We know from the given information that angle CAR is a right angle, so we draw a small square

corner to denote this.

We are also given the measurement of angle CAT.

Next let's determine the geometric relations of the problem.

Since angle CAR is formed by angle CAT and angle RAT we can set up the following geometric

relation: the sum of the measurement of angle CAT and angle RAT is equal to the measurement

of angle CAR.

We can now substitute the measurement of angle CAT and the measurement of angle CAR into

this geometric relation.

At this point we can now solve for the unknown angle measurement by subtracting the measurement

of angle CAT from the measurement of angle CAR.

Before we do this we need to write both angles in a subtraction friendly form.

The 90 degree angle can be written as 89 degrees 59 minutes 60 seconds after converting a degree

into 60 minutes and converting 1 minute into 60 seconds.

The measurement of angle CAT has 66 in the minutes place, since this is more than 60

minutes we need to convert 60 minutes into 1 degree doing that we obtain an alternative

form of this angle.

Now that we have modified both angles let's go ahead and carry out the subtraction, so

we subtract the seconds, minutes and degrees from one another.

In the end we obtain 51 degrees 53 minutes 50 seconds as the final answer.

Let's take a look at the next example.

If angle CBD is congruent to angle DBE, find the measure of angle A.

In this problem we are provided with a diagram with angles denoted numerically and algebraically.

We are told that two angles are congruent and we are asked to find the measurement of

an angle.

Alright it seems like we need to figure out a way to solve for x so that we can then use

it to find the measurement of angle A. Let's go ahead and set up the geometric relations

of the problem.

We know that angle CBD is congruent to angle DBE this means that the measurement of the

angles is the same.

So we can equate the measurement of these angles.

Now we can substitute the numerical and algebraic expression for each angle as follows.

Now it is just matter of solving for x doing that we obtain x equals 50.

The last step is to determine the measurement of angle A. So we substitute the value of

x into the algebraic expression for the measurement of angle A, evaluating the expression and

simplifying we obtain 55 degrees and this is our final answer.

Alright let's try the next problem.

Given angle ABC is a right angle, angle 1 is equal to 3x plus 4 degrees, angle 2 is

x plus 6 degrees.

Find the measurement of angle 1.

In this problem we are provided with a diagram and we are given 3 pieces of information about

the diagram, we are asked to determine the measurement of angle 1.

We are given that angle ABC is a right angle this means that the measurement of angle ABC

is 90 degrees.

We are also given an algebraic expression for angle 1 and angle 2.

We are going to use the geometric relations of the problem along with algebra to determine

the measurement of angle 1.

Notice that angle ABC is formed by angle 1 and angle 2.

This means that if we were to add the measurement of angle 1 and angle 2 it should equal the

measurement of angle ABC.

Since we know that angle ABC is a right angle we can set the sum of angle 1 and angle 2

equal to 90.

Now that we have used the geometric relations of the problem we can now use algebra to solve

the problem.

We are given an algebraic expression for angle 1 and angle 2, so let's go ahead and substitute

these expressions into our geometric relation.

Now it is just a matter of solving for x, simplifying the expression and solving for

x we obtain x equals 20.

Now, this is not our answer we need to make sure we answer the question, we need to determine

the measurement of angle 1, so we go back to the algebraic expression for angle 1 and

evaluate it with the value of x we found, doing that and simplifying we obtain 64 degrees

for the measurement of angle 1.

It is important to first set up the geometric relations of a geometry problem before attempting

to solve it by using algebra.

Also keep in mind that you may need to solve a sub problem as a step to solve the overall

problem in this case we had to solve for x before we were able to solve for the measurement

of angle 1.

Alright in our next video we will go over a problem that involves inequalities and a

problem that has an algebraic expression as a solution.

🤖 1H OF AI-GENERATED MUSIC!🎧 - Duration: 1:00:01.

This video here at the "The Guru of Science" channel is going to be a bit different from the others.

I streamed AI-generated music last week for an hour,

but since not everyone was available at the time,

some people asked for an upload of the livestream file.

Initially I tried to create a music generator by myself, but as you can hear it

kind of failed.

You're listening to it right now.

However, there's a startup called Jukedeck which allow you to

create tracks on their website for free.

It's what I've been using in my recent videos, and no one seems to have realized that

these melodies come from code.

The name and the timestamp of each track is in the description, so you can

hear a bit of everything.

I suggest letting it play in the background while you study or mess around in your computer.

I hope you like it, and please subscribe because next week the usual content will be back.

See you soon!

Wow hahah I can't believe you listened to it all! That's some serious dedication. Cheers!

Things to do in Nevada Travel Guide | USA Road Trip 2017 - Duration: 15:29.

Well hello hello.

We are not in Canada anymore.

We are having a wonderful sunny escape in Nevada.

We're here for 3 days so we're going to be road tripping.

Road trip and this is awesome.

I mean we're trading in what our winter jackets for shorts and t-shirts.

Yes.

Sunshine.

Always gotta love that and we're really excited to be back in Nevada.

The last time we were here was what in 2015?

Yeah.

And we mostly explored Vegas and the surrounding regions so this time it is all about the state.

So we're going to be visiting state parks and some of the lakes and doing outdoorsy

stuff.

And I hope that we can visit some quirky like roadside attractions as well too.

Oh yeah.

That is going to be a high priority.

Let's go.

Our trip began in Las Vegas, but having already been there before, we wasted no time on the

Strip.

After a short night's rest, we grabbed a hearty breakfast, hopped in our rental car,

and hit the road for our first stop of the day: Lake Mead.

So the plan for today is to go kayaking in Black Canyon but we still have a little bit

of time this morning so we're stopping off in Lake Mead and also Hoover Dam.

Both of those are along the way and there comes Sam.

He's been taking pictures.

Taking pictures along the trail.

So did you get some good photos?

Yeah, there is some pretty good shots but I think like you have to be walking along

the path a bit further for you to get a better vantage point of the lake.

Yeah, we're going to be making a lot of photo stops on this road trip.

It is just so scenic.

Like wherever you look.

Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the US and it's also a popular recreation spot,

so we kicked off our morning with some light hiking and lots of photo taking, because just

look at those views!

So we just finished doing a little bit of hiking.

Now we're heading back to our car and next up is Hoover Dam.

Oh, and we also got a really fancy car.

We got an upgrade so we're driving a Camaro.

Chevy Camaro and I've got the keys in my pocket.

So we have made it to Hoover Dam.

We're going to skip the tour today but we're going to check the dam out.

Hoover Dam is one of the most visited attractions in Nevada with as many as 1 million people

taking the tour every year, and even more driving across the dam.

Fun fact: there is enough concrete in Hoover Dam to build a 4 foot wide sidewalk around

the Earth at the Equator.

That's a whole lot of concrete!

So we've made it to Willow Beach.

It is time to go kayaking.

Sam has lathered himself up in sunscreen.

Yeah, apparently this is going to be a 3 hour kayaking tour so yeah we do need lots of sunscreen.

Especially for me.

Alright, and the kayaks are already on the water so let's go.

Let's do it.

Kayaking in Black Canyon was the highlight of the day.

We lucked out with blue skies, calm waters, and the scenery was pretty spectacular - especially

once we entered the canyon where we were surrounded by rock walls.

Halfway up stream we took a break from kayaking and went on a short hike.

Our guide told us a little bit about about the flora and fauna you can find in this region.

We also stopped at the Emerald Cave, which gets it's name from the bright emerald green

colour reflected in the water.

It is day 2 on the road.

Where are we off to next Sam?

Day two, so we're going to the Valley of Fire.

Ooh.

We woke up relatively early.

We're leaving just after eight so all packed up, all ready to go.

Alright, let's go to the car.

Let's hit the road.

We had an hour's journey to reach the Valley of Fire that morning, and it was a very leisurely

drive down some scenic stretches of road.

We knew we were getting closer to the park when we noticed the landscape colours started

becoming more saturated.

Alright guys so we're almost at the entrance for the Valley of Fire Park and we just keep

stopping for photos.

It is so scenic and the rocks are so red.

Like the colors are so rich and saturated.

So yeah, Sam is getting more photos and more video for us and then we're going to drive

to the entrance and pay for our permit.

Well, well.

How are you enjoying the scenery?

It is like absolutely amazing.

We've just been stopping off a lot to snap photos.

I keep saying Audrey pull over pull over we've got to get a shot of that so it has been really

cool this morning so far.

Once we entered Valley of Fire State Park, the fun began.

This park is known for its rock formations, panoramic vistas, and hiking trails, so there

was no shortage of things to see and do.

One of the most impressive stops was Seven Sisters, where you have seven massive red

sandstone boulders sitting on a relatively flat landscape, but really, you can't go

wrong with the views here no matter what direction you look in.

Another stretch we really enjoyed was the drive towards Mouse's Tank, where you drive

through a red canyon.

Walls of red rock rise on either side of you, and it almost like something out of Mars.

So I'm an avid collector of passport stamps and you can actually get your passport stamped

over here.

So let's go.

Let's do the honors on a brand new page.

Oh wow.

You're even using a brand new page.

Yes.

Ready.

Tada.

Valley of Fire.

Our next stop took us to Rainbow vista, where we followed a sandy trail up to a lookout

that offers 360 degree views of the surrounding valley.

And the views are absolutely insane.

They are.

360 degrees.

You cannot go wrong.

No matter where you look it is just like blows your mind.

It is incredible up here.

We basically spent the rest of the day just driving around and enjoying the scenery, before

continuing on to our lodge later that day.

Alright guys, so after a long drive we have made it to our final stop for the night.

We're in the town of Alamo, NV.

And we're staying at the Windmill Ridge where we have a log cabin.

So let's go inside and we're going to give you a tour.

It is super cozy.

Well, welcome welcome.

We have a cozy cabin for two.

Lazy boy chair, I think maybe Sam can enjoy that one later.

Haha, me being the lazy one.

We have a pretty cool bed.

Like look at this.

It is made from tree trunks.

So it looks cool.

It looks so rustic.

So my favorite part is that they have a lot of cute little details so if you look at the

lamps they've got like bears clanging to the tree trunks.

We've got moose, a welcome sign, we have tin cups that makes me think of camping.

And yeah it is just really nice.

It is small but it is just what you need for two people.

Alright Sam, time for dinner.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

My tummy is rumbling.

And I know this because we ate at this place for lunch.

Yeah.

And they had ribs on the menu but I said no I'm going to hold off until dinner.

Dinner is now.

Haha.

Alright, lead the way.

Well well the food is here.

What are we having?

So if you take a look down here.

I don't know if you can believe this is but this is the half rack of ribs.

It is huge.

This was not even the full order.

So we're sharing this so yeah the portion is already massive and then over here we've

got mashed potato with a generous amount of gravy poured over top.

This is a vegetable of the day.

I'm making out different things.

It looks like broccoli.

Yeah, there is some broccoli I think maybe cauliflower and potato and then I think this

is extra barbecue sauce.

Woah.

That we can just douse the meat in.

So alright let's dig in.

Let's dig in.

So excited for these ribs.

Like whenever I travel in the US or even Canada for that matter if I can find like barbecue

ribs on the menu I'm like all for that.

So I'm taking this, going for a bit of a swim in the barbecue sauce.

Actually that is a pretty big swim.

Oh my gosh.

Big swim.

Mmmmm.

Those are done really well.

The meat is like crispy on the outside but then tender as you bite into it.

That is really good.

And I really like the barbecue sauce.

It has got a really like strong smokey flavor.

So that adds a really nice finish.

I don't know how but somebody has room for dessert.

What are you having?

I don't know if there is so much room as there is just a whole lot of gluttony going on but

um we're going to attempt to finish this peanut butter bar.

It just looks so good.

I was looking at the desserts.

They have a nice they had them all nicely displayed in this little window tray and I

was woah the peanut butter bars look good.

So let's try that.

Mmmmm.

That is super peanut buttery.

Haha.

As is to be expected.

As is to be expected and it is really dense.

We've got our work cut out to finish this one.

Well good morning.

It is day three of our road trip here in Nevada and today we're going looking for Aliens.

Woah.

Yeah.

This is going to be a really quirky fun day.

Um, I grew up enjoying sci-fi so this is bringing out the inner dork inside of me.

Yeah, so we're going to be driving the Extraterrestrial Highway so it is time to fuel up and hit the

road.

Let's do it.

Since we were up bright and early, we decided to make a detour before getting on the Extraterrestrial

Highway.

The previous afternoon we had driven past Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, which

looks like a little oasis in the middle of the desert, so we backtracked a few kilometres.

These wetlands are an important stop for migratory birds, and it was a fun little stop even if

we're not the best bird spotters out there.

And here is a list of the birds people have been spotting here in the wildlife refuge.

Lots of bird watching.

Back on the road, we hit our first stop on the ET Highway: ET Fresh Jerky!

This is an alien-themed shop selling everything from martian soda to alien sunglasses, so

we used this as an opportunity to load up on snacks.

And this is the start of the Extraterrestrial Highway.

Let's see what we find along the way.

So no Aliens in sight yet but we did stop off at ET Fresh Jerky for some Alien jerky.

Yeah.

So Sam is going to be trying that.

So I was joking around with this store owner.

I said, I said only she gets to see the Aliens and she processes them so fast that no one

else sees the Aliens.

They are just inside of this package.

Alright, so we got the teriyaki flavor.

Teriyaki Alien Jerky.

I hope uh, I hope the Aliens taste good here.

Oh, that smells good.

Mmmm.

What do you think?

That is nice and sweet.

Teriyaki sauce is really good.

First time eating Aliens.

I think I prefer this even to original jerky.

Yeah, this is our first time to have Aliens so a first for everything.

And this will be a great uh snack for our road trip today.

Nice and sweet and we also picked up something called chili chilled mango.

So it looks like mango slices coated in some kind of spice.

Chili.

Yeah, and that is seriously coated.

Try a bite.

It smells spicy.

Mmmm.

Is it good?

It is really good.

It is sweet and spicy at the same time.

It kind of reminds me of tamarind a little bit.

Mmmhmmm.

You taste the spice at first and then as you bite into it more you get the sweetness of

the mango.

Mmmhmm.

This should be another good snack.

Alright, so we've got our snacks for the road.

The search for Aliens continues.

See ya later.

After stopping for photos at the ET Highway marker which is covered in stickers, we journeyed

on to the Alien Research Centre, which is pretty hard to miss considering they have

a giant metal alien standing guard on a hill.

So we just arrived at the Alien Research Center but unfortunately it is closed.

It is already eleven thirty in the morning so I don't know if they just opened late or

if it is closed on Mondays but here we are.

They do have a cool Alien out front so we're going to enjoy that instead.

From there, it was on to the Black Mailbox, a random little stop on the side of the road

where alien enthusiasts from far and wide come to leave stones, letters, and addresses

to aliens…perhaps expecting a visitation?

The original mailbox was stolen a few years back, so this is kind of a makeshift pit stop

nowadays.

We are opening the Alien mailbox to see what is in there.

Look at this.

We got a baseball from Bryan Rodriguez all the way from Puerto Rico.

Alright.

Pretty cool.

And then lots of rocks.

You saw the coin collection happening down here so let's add to that.

The lonely road then took us further into the desert where we arrived in the town of

Rachel that's home to the Little Al'e'in.

The establishment is part motel, part bar and part restaurant.

Out front, we spotted a UFO-towing pick-up truck and a green alien welcoming earthlings,

while inside we were surrounded by Area 51 warning signs and all sorts of alien-themed

souvenirs.

And then it was time to turn around, drive back to Vegas, and fly back home, but not

before making one last detour along the way.

So time for an update.

We are visiting a place that we've already been to before.

So this is easily the coolest surprise of the day.

We are at Red Rock Canyon National Park and we didn't' think we'd have any time to visit

here.

This wasn't even on our itinerary but we kind of finished visiting the Extraterrestrial

Highway a little bit early.

Yep.

And we're thinking like I was counting down on my watch and I'm like you know what we

might have enough time to get here and look at it we are here.

So it is time to check it out.

We are just going to walk around and maybe do a little bit of hiking.

A surprise addition to our Nevada travel guide was visiting Red Rock Canyon, which is just

a 20-minute drive from the Vegas Strip.

We still had a bit of time to spare before we had to return the rental car, and this

was one of Sam's favourite spots on our last visit, so we did the scenic drive just

before sunset.

Our final thoughts?

There are way more things to do in Nevada than just Las Vegas and we're glad we got

to experience a mix of nature and quirky attractions on this mini USA road trip!
