On Saturday morning, we watched the parade and then went to the park.
In the afternoon we “shot the tube”. Under a highway, there was a huge pipe which is used to transfer the water (from the mountains, hence very cold). People from Salt Lake are actually using it for fun. You get something like a surfboard, you go up by walking in the freezing water and in the dark, and finally you go down the pipe by sliding with your board. I can’t say I was the most motivated for that, because when I tried to get into the water it was so cold that it was hurting real bad. And I realized that I was almost the only one to feel that way. Whatever. I still tried, and when I was almost down the pipe, I used my hands to stop because I didn’t want to get into the freezing water. Lame huh. I don’t care. That was still fun and I had a good sunbath.
Then, at night, we went up a hill to watch the fireworks. Actually, the fireworks were kinda small from up there, but I really enjoyed the view of Salt Lake!
Sunday was church day, because Clayton and his family are Mormons. We went to a concert in the morning, and then we went to church. Finally, at night we went to a party related to the church. It was nice, even though it was a “dry” party.
On Monday, we went to the lake where I managed to stand on a wake board for the first time! (I had tried already and I had miserably failed twice) There even is a video!
That was fun. Then we went working out, and finally we tried to go to a party but it got canceled because of the rain L.
On Tuesday, we went to a city in the mountains called Park City. There was a big slide going down the mountain, and we did it! It was lots of fun.
Thank you Clayton for all of that!
