Last day in Salt Lake City

First of all I wanted to thank everyone for the e-mails, texts and comments they have send. it's so good hearing from all of ya. Right now I'm enjoying my last day in Salt Lake City. Nice and warm inside. It's snowing out and I've be out in it, up in the mountains most of the day. After yet another american breakfast, this morning at denny's, Grandpa and I set of to Park City. It's pretty much as I remembered it. Just colder and I guess less big than I thought. But I was only like 10 years old when I saw it first.


I've had a lot of fun here so far. I believe I left of telling you I was going to spend the night with my Grandma Sam. Grandpa, Sam and I met for dinner at Ruby River and after that I wnet home with Sam. She has a beautifull house that she regretfully has to sell due to moving to Arizona to take care of her folks. She had a pooltable in the bassment so we had us some Jack&Coke and played pool all night together with Joe and Joe, her friend and his son. The next morning (afternoon more like it) we had some breakfast (she cooked) and watched a movie. I didn't see the end though because grandpa was there around 4 o'clock to pick me up. (Saw the movie before so it didn't matter). It was almost like having seperated parents, haha. Grandpa and I went out to dinner to a mexican restaurant that night.

Yesterday we spend the day with Sheryl. Grandpa's girlfriend. We met up for breakfast at Dee's and went down to Thanksgiving Point after that. They had a museum there illustrating the history of the world. Dinosaurs (bones) and way older living beings to be seen there. It was way bigger than it looked from the outside. There was so much to see. Big fun. Actually learned alot already since I've come here. They had a 3D theater there as well so we saw a 3D movie about Afrika Wild Life. It was like being on a safari. Way fun.
That night we had dinner with us 3 plus Sheryl's brother and his wife who are on skiing holiday here. We ate at Parrotshead. It's a new restaurant here in Utah that was founded by a famous singer. (Or at least, that what they say, I never heard of the guy...) After that we went back to Sheryl's house and just hung out. Or at least, I let them all talk and catch up while I flipped through magazines. The letters where to small to read (right). Lexie, the wife, kept asking me questions about Holland. I wasn't in the mood to answer them though. Who gives a damn about Holland when your in America. For me the land of my dreams. I got a bit irritated when she asked me the same question for the zillionth time. Isn't it the Netherlands and not Holland. I'll tell you all now so I don't need to be asked this question anymore. It's both, you can use both. The netherlands is more international but the Dutch actually use both. We cheer our teams (soccer and shit) with Hup Holland Hup (meaning Go Holland GO) and we'll use it differntly too. The Netherlands is I guess the official name for those few people who don't know what your talking about when saying Holland and when sending a letter to that country. And no, Holland is not just a regio, that South Holland.

There, got rid of that frustration. I'm good to go to dinner now, haha.

Probably should get my suitcases good to go as well seeing as in Grandpa and I are driving out to Las Vegas tomorrow. Rhiannon, my 10 year older aunt, is meeting us down there. We'll spend the weekend there and then I'll be off to San Diego where I'll be for the rest of my trip. Lovely....
