UTAH
|
Greetings from St. George, Utah. Bob and I flew out early yesterday morning via Jet Blue. I love that airline. The trip was uneventful and right on time - a little early getting into Las Vegas even. Yes, Las Vegas. The airport is surrounded by all the casinos so we had quite a view of everything right from the parking garage. The landscape is dessert but fully surrounded by mountains off in the distance. It's as if we're in this huge bowl. To get here (a couple hour's drive) we had to drive through this huge gorge that was cut into the mountains. "Here" is the home of Stan and Nan Jones, formerly of Hallowell. They have moved here into a new retirement home. Very nice.  It's strange to see such high altitudes (yes, snow will top the mountains soon) but not see grass and trees anywhere. Just dessert shrubs here and there that don't add much to the scenery. It reminds me of Israel sometimes. That's what it's like there. Needless to say, it is gorgeous here and I'll try and put on some pictures later if I can. My computer won't hook up to Stan's network so I'm a little handicapped that way. |
