Today was a low-volume photo day. I mainly spent it exploring the town while waiting for my luggage to arrive. It was also a sleep-in day. I should have been getting my body used to the early morning wake-up times I will have the rest of the week. But with nothing pressing on my agenda, and no transportation except by foot, I decided to roll over and see if I could go back to sleep. I could!
Breakfast was lunch, at a nice Chinese smorg. Then I hit a drugstore to scope out what I would need if my luggage didn’t come. It was a huge store and carried everything but the kitchen sink. Check out this Redneck toilet plunger. Who thinks of these things?
I also found the biggest grocery store in town that I was in search of last night. I love looking at all the products we don’t have in Canada, and I purchased some yummy, healthy snacks. But while walking down the last aisle, I was quite amazed to find this item in the beer cooler. Apparently the brewing company wanted to draw attention to its beer here in Utah, which is Mormon country. It must be working because there was only this one 6-pack of Polygamy Porter left on the shelves.
While in the grocery store, I received a phone call from the airline to tell me my luggage had arrived and would be delivered to my hotel. I was so relieved!! I spent a pleasant afternoon browsing and looking at the interesting pottery, Navajo art and wind sculptures on main street. I couldn’t help but notice this vehicle parked outside one of the stores. I wondered how it could get so muddy in such a dry climate. Moab gets about 10 inches of rain per year.
At 5 PM, I returned to the hotel and met with the photography tour group I am joining. After an orientation session we walked to a nearby restaurant for supper. Bedtime must be early tonight as we leave at 5:55 AM tomorrow. Yiiiiikes!
