We have lost air-conditioning... I repeat...

As we left Cedar City for the 3 hour drive up to Salt Lake City, the air conditioner decided to go on strike. Mind you, even though it was 100 F/ 38 C outside, we hardly noticed.

On the way into Salt Lake we saw some interesting signage that clearly illustrated that Utah does not support the gun lobby. We drove into town just a bit before dinner, with enough time to pull over and consult our non-existent map of the city to find our hotel. Once we did arrive we were pleasantly surprised to find a nicely kept historic hotel, and a restaurant next door where we were able to get a couple of dirty martinis before dinner. What more could we want from Utah?

DAMN YOU, AIR-CON! DAMN YOU!

I can't remember much about this 4 fricking hour drive because my brain was frying in my head and buckets of sweat were cascading into my eyeballs (think that scene from Airplane when Striker has to fly for the first time since the war... or whatever.) I took a couple of pictures of us during the hours of hell in the sweatbox so you can see for yourself.

Salt Lake City has it's fair share of pissed up weirdos (and i'm not just talking about me and Susan.) The hotel was very European stylee, in quite a grand way. I liked it. Of course, all the rooms are non-smoking but luckily the window to our room was huge so i propped it up with a Gideons bible (quite handy those things) and had a few smoko's. I looked up to my left and saw a fellow smoker so i waved. She waved back. I looked to my right and saw another smoker. This time i smiled. I think they were using their bibles for the same thing since the windows had obviously been "oiled" to act like a massive guillotine to rid the hotel of the "people with the nasty habit." One night here then off we pop to Susan's aunt and uncle, Terri & Guy. dx
