It’s Sunday and this can be seen: boys wear
suits and ties, girls have their pretty dresses
on and parents look very fancy. My woman in her cycling shorts does not
fit the picture. Another Sunday trait: the roads are empty and parking lots
next to churches are full!
It makes our ride a bit eerie – as in a movie where
some kind of catastrophic event happened and wiped out the local communities.
Not even a dog was heard! The heat is still on
and finding a gas station for some relief is necessary. I laugh when I
see the size of the bottles my human buys keeps growing. But buildings and
roads and cars just suck up the heat and together with the hair drying wind we
get our share of the warm weather. We cycle past Cherry Hill – some kind of
resort with a few water slides (can we go, boss?) and five minutes later we see
the amusement park Lagoon. One day… she answers. Now we have to get to Salt
Lake City. The No – Granny days are definitely taking up their toll and my
human feels the legs do not work well – or is it the mind? Just outside North
Salt Lake my human decides to cool down in Mc. Donald’s. With her Sudoku and a
cool drink on the table we lower our body heat again (wish I could get out of
my fur, but I guess that would be a funny sight!). Believe it or not but we
stay there almost an hour – trying to finish that Sudoku (she still didn’t see
the solution). Totally energized again we head to Smith’s marketplace for our soup-bagel
dinner when a woman shows up and asks us if we really came from Montana (“I had
to ask! Wow!”). More positive feelings and yes with new energy we cycle the
last 10 K into Salt Lake City. It’s not the scenic route and I wonder if the
air is that healthy to inhale. Hurry boss, get us away from this smoking place.
We head to our first bookstore visit – Barnes and Noble at the Gateway. It’s another
way to cool down in a pleasant way. From the Gateway it’s only 5 minutes to the
hotel where a package is waiting for us! Have a good night!
