Wild West

After a great time in Frisco and met up with some cool friends at our hostel I was on the road again to Salt Lake City. A 15 hour ride through the Nevada desert. It was like looking at a white screen with some rocks and sand for the whole time. Not much to see, but I had two seats for myself in the Greyhound bus so it helped.

I met up with Mads in Salt Lake City, which is located in a very beautiful scenery. The city is sorrounded by mountains and the weather was nice. We went to Temple Square. which is the place the Mormons settled for 150 years ago and built their church. Utah state has 70 % Mormons. We went inside the Square and had a tour by the sisters. Interesting city, but too clean and tidy for our taste so we left for Denver the day after.

Me and Mads couldnt sit next to eachother in the bus, so we had different experiences in the bus. I found the person sitting next to me pretty interesting to start with talking about the politics in the country, europe and so on. But we he suddenly started talking about that he had met Jesus and Satan in his dreams, that he has made a prophecy and saw himself as a prophet and explained to me how the apocalypse would happen I started to put my iPod in my ears and Neil Young saved me. Anyway, one of the interesting aspects of this trip is to hear all the different views of how the US is holding itself up - many different views.
Mads sat next to a sick person, who apparently shit his pants.

Denver was much cooler and much more laidback. We experienced the city during the day which was very cool. Not too crowded as LA and San Francisco but not as boring as Salt Lake City. The main street was filled with musicians and a lot of nice parks to relax in. Later that night we wanted to see what the city was all about during the night, but as we both only are 19 we didnt have big expectations. But we were only outside for 5 minutes before we found a concerthouse with music inside. We went in and listened to some nice jazz. Not only did we get inside the place we also bought a beer. Great Success.

After a couple of days in Denver we are now out visiting some family 1 hour outside Denver. Here we are having a blast and staying with Lori and Dave and also among animals (3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 horses, chicken, a pet turkey, frogs etc) and experiencing the Rocky Mountains. Today we went out in the Rockies and hiked in snow. Although there is snow it isnt cold at all. Tomorrow we are going camping for 1 or 2 days in Colorado and Utah. By far this is the best State so far. Very beautiful.

On Sunday Lazio is playing against there creepy rivals roma, so I'm not gonna miss that...

FORZA LAZIO!!
