The third day of our trip saw us visit our third college football stadium: Utah State University in Logan, Utah. And frankly, the third time was definitely the charm. This school had the best stadium views of any of the schools we visited in Utah. They all had mountains to be seen, but the ones at Utah State were the highest, the snowiest, and the best, in both our opinions. We visited Logan on the way from Salt Lake City to Boise. For those of you looking at a map, it might not appear to be directly on the route between these two cities, and you would be correct. But it was only about 25 minutes added to our trip, and since I don’t know whether I will ever be in this part of the country ... read more

We caught a late breakfast at Herm's Inn. It's a beautiful old building that functioned as an inn and then as a gas station in the early 20th century. Today, it's a bustling diner that serves breakfast and lunch. I ordered huevos rancheros, and it was truly the best huevos rancheros I've ever had. It was served on some fried corn tortillas and came with a side of black beans. Andrew ordered a florentine Benedict, which he also raved about. Most people in our party loved the food, although the two people who ordered the biscuits & gravy said it was lacking. The early afternoon was spent with the kids. We looked after Oliver & Jo's cousins while Zach and Jessica went to an appointment. It was a lazy afternoon, and we decided to follow it ... read more

Thunder, lightning, pouring rain and hail. By mile 10 everyone was drenched. It reminded me a lot of the LA Marathon I ran in March of this year. I would have put that one at the top of my "worst marathons ever" list had it not been for the group of friends I was running with. This marathon, however, I ran alone and with the miserable conditions and nobody to talk to, I'd have to say it wins "worst marathon" award. Only because of the weather, of course, because the scenery through Blacksmith Fork Canyon was/is spectacular. There were a couple of noteworthy moments during this marathon that you might find interesting to read about. The first was an older gentleman who lived in a nice home around the 15 mile marker in Blacksmith Fork Canyon. ... read more

Yesterday, a few of the uncles woke up a bunch of the boys at ridiculously early in the morning to watch a football game (that’s soccer for those of us in the States.) Apparently it was a big game because it was Manchester United against Arsenal- whatever the heck that means! (I’m learning bits and pieces of this crazy game, as all the uncles and most of the boys find it fascinating.) So, at dinner last night, the boys asked me which was my favorite team, and I said I only know American football teams. “Oh no, Auntie! American football is bad! All you do is tackle your friends!” I tell you what, though, with how the Hawks have been playing lately, I may switch which football I watch! Anyway, I tell you the because today, ... read more

30th July. Travelled from Salmon to Tremonton, Utah, today with a slight detour to visit a strange landscape called 'Craters of the Moon'. A area where volcanic eruptions, about every 2000 years, creates lava flow and odd mounds and pinnacles. The surface becomes eroded over time but areas remain where nothing grows. Night stop Tremonton Utah. Pam and George... read more

Waiting... hoping It seems that my days in Rome will be somewhat limited. I would rather not stay in a hostel for the last three days. I might catch a train to a small college town called Perugia - in central Italy, or an even smaller town called Siena. We'll see what happens!... read more

Right now I'm at Caffe Ibis, waiting.... worried, a little scared, excited, anxious.... Thanks to Aubrey and James (Loganites), I received free coffee and soup for lunch. They're helping me save some cash for my trip! Tomorrow night (Monday, the 7th), I'm planning on having a "going away, I hope you don't die in Italy" get together. Fun.... read more
