Two Aussies, Three Weeks, Four States part 1

As I look out my window and see the mountains covered with clouds and hearing the promises of snow tomorrow, I decided it would be the perfect time to reminisce over the past month. About a month ago a certain Aussie rocked up at Salt Lake City airport eager for a month of fun and frivolity...of course this person was Jade. That day was amazing, not only did I have someone who spoke my language (because as many Aussies living in the states know, Australian english is a foreign language :p ) but she had brought with her some much needed supplies in the way of chocolate, milo and lollies. As I said the day was amazing :p The first week she was here we explored pretty much everything there is to see around salt lake...and dont worry mum I still went to my classes ;)

The first Friday Jade was here we decided to go up to the land of potatoes and visit Rexburg. On the way up we stopped in Lava Hot Springs. Our original plan had been to actually go in the hot baths but, it was't to be. Was cool to see a lot of the places I hadn't seen since my first trip up, even if we didn't have time to take advantage of the springs :) Once we made it to Rexburg we were able to spend some time with one of Jade's friends. While he was at school we did a little sight seeing and found the world famous potato musuem and the museum in rigby-the birthplace of television apparently. Sadly we couldn't make a decision about which one to go to and missed out on both...although i have heard they are quite the experience :p We toyed with the idea of going to Canada once we realised how close we were, but turns out Jade was the only one prepared for anything. She had her passport etc while I had left my passport and immigration documets at home...i know...i'm kicking myself. Any who after a few fun days in Rexburg it was time to come back down to Utah, school made a habit of getting in the way of many of our holiday plans :p On our way back we stopped in Pocatello for a stretch and to give my poor car a rest. While we were there we were able to have a quick catch up with a friend of mine I hadn't seen in around 2 years.Was definitely fun to say hello, especially because it'll be quite some time before i'm back up that way again. It's weird to think i'll be going home for good real soon and wont get to road trip it like this for a while...one of the few vices of tassie-youre quite limited as to where you can road trip.

 

Anywho, ill leave that there but i figure this covers our adventures around SLC, Park City, Idaho and most places in between :p Part 2 includes everything between Logan and Vegas so i'll get on that soon :D
