Can an airport explain the essence of a city? If it can, we can predispose a few things about Salt Lake City...
"Welcome home with Honor" (sign congratulating a mormon man returning from his pilgrimmage/mission).
"Sorry hun, that's how we do things here." (Delta representative explaining to me how my luggage got lost on a direct flight from Calgary).
"Calgary? That's in Sweden, right?" (A fellow co-leader who was holding a red bull in one hand and smoking a cigarette with another).
And sigh... off we go. Haven't seen much of the city as my efforts have been concentrated on meeting my American counterparts and re-ajusting to the Backroads world down here. I do have to admit... what I have seen of the city whilst driving is lovely.
I always wanted to be considered European! Ha, ha, ha.
Holly from Sweden, we VANT to see Ula dance now! Can you make that happen? Perhaps a little education for some of those ‘Mericans in geography and the risks of smoking! How was the 3% beer? I might be able to have two! Enjoy the sights and sounds of SLC on your day off. Maybe a little shopping is in order? Love Ya!
h2; on behalf of my fellow citizens, i must apologize. while we americans are the most dominating world power, and the greatest, most productive civilization to ever grace this earth… =) …. we also have the curse of ignorance. to put things into perspective, salt lake city is our very own regina. but i hear you are on to greater parts soon, so please enjoy!
