The 8hour bus ride from Vegas to Salt Lake was too much fun. Highlights include; nobody wanting to sit next to anyone else so that LC and I could sit together - ah you're going to be sitting next to someone you don't know anyways so just fucking move. They did. Also a extremely fat man who took up 2 seats slept through the maccas stop but the next one was taco bell - so hungry he literally licked every peice of lettuce & sauce out of that burrito wrapper, I watched the whole thing. I was going to attempt to film it but its always in the back of my mind that they have guns, poow poow death. Though for realz there was amazing scenery even though its the desert. Here are some shitting through a moving bus window photos depicting the trip:
A church - everywhere!
An oversized flag - LC and I have decided that if the American's spend less of their money on ridiculously sized flags they might not be so far in debt.
A mountain there is like 1 bazillion of these, also note the open cabin UPS van.
Enter extreme amounts of tourist photographs. This city is actually they most beautiful one we have seen with lovely architecture, tree lined streets, lush green grass, clean sidewalks (so American) and more churches than you can fill on a Sunday Morning. OMGOSH and a public transport system! No kidding the first one that has beaten Perth - how ridiculous is that! Everyone drives but not in Salt Lake City. No everyone rides fixies and catches trams. Can't believe there isn't a Urban Outfitters here they would be killing it.
Temple Square. Where the 1st Mormon Prophet (Joseph Smith) shoved all the Mormons when no where else in America/the World would have them. Turns out the 19th Century temples are actually pretty nice and we totes met a sister from Perth. We also have contact details for like 8 other sisters incase we want to become Mormons. Turns out they are allowed to wear make up. That was a real deal breaker if we are going to lead a purist life style.
Yeah Self Timer.
Inside the World's Largest Tabernacle.
Some pretty Moron building.
The Soaring Eagle - some sort of famous landmark...
Getting back to our roots - the Roman Catholic Cathedral.
Yeah we went in to take photos like 3minutes before mass started. So actually attended mass in Salt Lake City (how original!!!) it's exactly the same - everything - even the wafer aka body of christ.
Just incase you can't find Beehive 186.
Oh yeah the greatest thing about Salt Lake City. Their town hall is a Castle.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! For Alex Hayes.
See that tiny tiny sign that says the Green Pig or something. We went to that bar for a cider. Such an ordeal. Firstly entered the bar didn't have a ID apart from a student one the guy lets us in because 'he likes us' then some guy behind us is all YR FROM PERTH! I went to uni there did engineering at UWA. Small world. So we went up to the roof top bar asked for cider. What? cider. What? cider like apple cider like beer but tastes like juice. Calls another girl over. Do you have cider? Oh they mean cider (says it in an American accent) Oh yeah we have that down stairs. Go downstairs. Can we please have two apple ciders? What? Cider, apple cider. Why would you want warm apple cider on a day like today? FUCKING HELL JUST GIVE ME A CIDER!! We have sachets which we can make you some cider with... or we have beer cider. Yes Beer Cider, dick head, we came to a bar for a warm non alcoholic drink. Plus side only charged us $5. Then some native Indian asked us if aboriginals look like him and if they are nice....
Thanks Salt Lake. You were Great.
Off to Chicago.
