Rainy Utah

Well, Utah... You are a fun & interesting place. We spent the greater part of this afternoon in Temple Square... and learned about all sorts of interesting things! We saw a giant 15-foot statue of Jesus in space, toured the LDS Conference Center (that holds 21,000 people!), and saw a miniature model of the Temple.

When we first came into Utah, it was about 1am... We were going to camp in Kanab, but it was pretty sketchy. So instead, Sean drove for an additional 3 hours to get us to a random rest stop in the middle of nowhere, where we slept for about 4 hours in the van. We then woke up & continued on to Orem for a screening at Utah Valley University. We've had some great screenings here in Utah-- the people are all so nice.

We've also had some crazy fun times here. Sleeping in the van is always an adventure-- and it was raining the whole night-- relaxing, but unfortunate for our original plan of camping. We have seen some beautiful sunsets (and sunrises), especially here in Utah with all the mountains & lakes.

One of our contacts (Mike), also has a stuffed Pikachu, which was RATHER exciting. The West Nomads & Mike are clearly soul mates. That is all about that. Though right now we are watching Star Wars with Alex (and quite a few other people). It's always a fun time!

We have the next three days off, so I'm really excited to just hang out & get some stuff done. Today we did some sightseeing in Salt Lake City. Tomorrow we are going to drive up to Idaho (Twin Falls) to continue our trek towards the North! And in just 4 short days, we will be in CANADA!!! I'm pretty stoked about that.
