Day 5

Laramie, WY - Departed early morning , and Chaya averaged 90 miles an hour to hit the border of Utah
Park City, UT - The word beautiful is becoming redundant - oh well. Park City was beautiful - gorgeous ski resort with an adorable shopping district. Turns out this is the acutal site of the Sundance Film Festival - but we didn't figure that out until we went to...






Sundance, UT - We made our previously mentioned discovery and marveled at the athletics of the hardcore Utah-ians on their mountain bikes racing up and down the slopes. Feeling outdoorsy and overcome by the scenery, we got lift tickets - and eh...we sat there and watched them from above.



Salt Lake City, UT - Did the city basics - visited the state capitol, saw the nearby monuments. Temple Square is another must-see - snuck into a tour group to see the Tabernacle - 11th largest set of organ pipes in the world. Equally important - we cracked - had to have some Indian food. Satiated cravings at Bombay House. Good food - but worst music ever. Some tone-deaf fool butchered our favorites to a cheap karaoke track. The price you pay for soul food.





Elko, NV - Never heard of Elko? Yeah, so how come ALL of the hotels and motels were booked solid? Ended up at our last ditch effort - The Thunderbird Motel. The sign is exactly what you're picturing. Again, it's Nevada.

Lesson Learned: Nothing much - Park City doesn't really serve lunch. Go there for dinner.

Day 6

• Elko, NV - Diamond in the rough - Thunderbird Motel actually turned out to be a winner! Clean, comfortable and Bath and Body Works products. Off to Reno to complete our last day...
• Reno, NV - Stuffed ourselves at the Atlantis Casino Buffet - other buffets are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for some reason. Afterwards we tried to "gamble" but after about $5 at the penny slots the cigarette stench-induced migraines got to us and we headed out. One of the first days we won't go on and on about how beautiful anything was

• Carrot Check - They checked our trunk for smuggled produce at the state border - Welcome to California!!!
• San Jose, California - as TomTom Auntie says, "You have reached your destination....You have reached your destination"
