So we got to Salt Lake City in the evening after a long drive, and I was happy to check in to our hotel and freshen up. Though the clock said 6pm, the sun was so high in the sky and HOT! We decided to relax and wait for it to cool a bit. Not wanting to while away the city, we made plans to hit it for a movie and dinner out.
Atala decided to make the arrangements and after checking on the internet, found a cinema in the area. Since it was a multiplex, I knew there has to be a restaurant nearby and hope we could get both things done with less stress. At first, I wanted to drive us there but Atala said it shouldn't be more than 10mins. Of course I already knew he loves us taking walks together.
An so we strode into the setting sun. It was still warm but bearable, and some sights like the park above and the murals below, kept us company as we chatted and walked. Sometimes, we were hand in hand, or I had my hand in his back pocket or waist. But after 10mins became 15, I began to flag. Luckily, I had changed into flats when I agreed to walk, but as sweat trickled down my non-existent cleavage, I wondered if we'll ever get there.
"Are we there yet?" I asked as we passed this hotel. But it wasn't it. I began to grumble along with my tummy, we hadn't eaten anything since breakfast in the last city where we has stayed over. He offered to carry me, I reminded of our weight ratio, and we laughed it off.
We soon came to the mural above and I was distracted. This picture doesn't do it justice, it really looks great and so I had to take a picture.
And then we marveled that small Salt Lake City had a tram while Seattle were still discussing ours. Oh well, moving on...
Here we are at the multiplex. We arrived around 8pm, some 25 minutes after we left the motel. I was so happy to see it, I stuffed my camera in the bag so we could find a place to eat. We chose Z-Tejas to get a feel of the South-West Cuisine. The food was great and I was satisfied by the time we were done by about 8.45. The still light airy outside beckoned and we set off again to burn some calories before the movie (X-Men First Class) at 9.50pm.
TO BE CONTINUED....

ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Looks like you're having a good time exploring the city.
ReplyDeleteha ha, such lovely pictures that do speak words...post round 2.
ReplyDeleteawww it seem like you are having a good time. x
ReplyDeleteMyne did you notice something about your writing style here? It felt like reading Marian Keys cum Janet Evanovich. I think you should write a romantic comedy, I bet you'd be hilarious. I really loved reading this.
ReplyDeletelol @ Atala said it shouldn't be more than 10 mins. It seems that husbands usually do that. They say somewhere is not far and would want you to walk there (not like i mind though) and you end up walking like forever.lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've always envisioned Salt Lake City as sort of mysterious..Or maybe i mean Utah in general. i think cos of their mostly uniform culture and daily life which is influenced by their religion..would love to visit someday tho..hope you're having fun
Thanks everyone, we're back home now and debriefing. More road trip posts coming up.
ReplyDelete@Wendy, lol...I was actually trying something out here. Thanks!
@Stelzz, you're so right. I'm guessing the walk would've taken him 10mins alone...but hey, we do enjoy it, and it's good for us. :)
Myneee which kain Nigerian movie suspense is this one na??
ReplyDeleteAhn ahn! See my long eye just stretching. lool
Swear down I was just discussing PDA with a friend of mine via bbm.
