The Salty State of Utah.

Today was our first day off in over a week, and it was much needed. We spent last night and today exploring all that Salt Lake City has to offer. ...and by that I mean we went to a filthy Chinese buffet called "Crazy Jim's China Buffet." I'm now %65 sure I will wake up with a stomach flu. On a lighter note, four buses of "natives" filed into the buffet right when we got there so we got a refund after they ate all of the choice delicacies. Oddly enough, most interaction in SLC was in the city's fine eateries. Last night we (about 15 of us) wandered into a nearby Red Robin for dinner. After eating, we were approached by two Mormon girls from Utah university. They asked us which sports team we were on, then we ended up talking to them for an hour or so (these are the first girls we spent any time with in almost a month). Of course this story ends with them attempting to evangelize, and wrangle, us into joining them at their "ward" this morning. I politely informed them that I was catholic and I would not be joining them. Over all a pretty nice couple days in Salt Lake. Tomorrow we head to Park City, where I believe we will be kayaking. More details to come. Happy Father's Day. -J.P.
