W...I did a bicycle tour in the Four Corners region. When we got to Utah, things became very different. In one small town, the owner of a cafe had the coffee locked up. She gave the key to a kid of hers to get it so she could make us coffee. Locked up? I know they don't drink coffee but it's not meth. <br /><br />Another eerie thing was the women. They were mostly blond or dyed to look and no matter what the hair color, they all had black eyeliner around their eyes, like raccoons. <br /><br />We, the group of us, would ask for wine for dinner but in these small towns in Utah there wasn't any alcoholic beverage of any kind, yet every eatery would serve water in a wine carafe. The ones with a grape bunch pattern pressed in its glass bottom. We asked, once, why do you have these wine carafes and no wine? No answer. <br /><br />Once we got to one of the large resorts, they did have wine. You had to buy it at another place in the hotel, then they would open it there and you had to take it back to the dining area. So strange. <br /><br />We went to a rodeo while there. This is a resort where there are a lot of tourists from everywhere. Most of the rodeo participants were ex-Mormon missionaries that lived in that area. And when they gave the name of the contestant, they would also name where he did his mission, that was followed by really rude comments about the place they were in and aren't they glad to be back in Utah.<br /><br />I was glad when we left Utah. I begun to feel like we went into another dimension and would we ever get back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178637368483488805noreply@blogger.com
