Day Nine

Day Nine was simple, and pleasant. It involved some nice driving. Good, straight and empty roads. Lots of opportunity for the wondrous cruise control. My word, what a brilliant invention. Who came up with cruise control? Genius.

The landscape was, again, pretty mind blowing. Great expanses of open plains, surrounded by these gigantic mountains. The driving is just a complete delight, because of the VIEWS. You just don't get bored of looking at the landscape. It's AMAZING. The sky looks much bigger, somehow.

We stopped at a little service station. It had mounted deer heads on the walls. Weird. And outside there were two native Americans selling jewellery. I bought a bracelet, mainly out of guilt for stealing their land. Fun.

So, Timbo and I stopped at Lehi, about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City. We booked into a Days Inn and headed out to a Tepanyaki restaurant. They sat us at a SHARED TABLE. ARRRRGGGGHHHGHHHH. THE HORROR. WE ARE ENGLISH. WE DO NOT LIKE SHARING TABLES.

So we left. Had a super chilled evening, watched some late night talk shows. Love the Late Night TV.
