Good ole' SLC

So I guess I should have updated a couple of weeks ago, but I just get so darn busy.

A week and a half ago (it wasn't longer than that?!) I flew to Salt Lake City to attend the same college fair I went to last year, only this time I made sure to spend the night so that I could get per diem (aka, my food paid for!).

The night I flew in I went to the Red Iguana. It was recommended to me by a SLC native and I had remembered that it was featured in an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network. Well it is known for its mole sauce (no, not the rodent, the Mexican savory chocolate sauce). This will come as a shock but it turns out mole is not my favorite flavor. So I chose to go with the classic enchiladas. They were definitely worth the 50 minute wait to get in the door.

Then I found my hotel and got my room, I found an awesome deal and got a suite with a kitchen, fire place and master suite! The next day I got ready to use my GPS to get to a well known breakfast spot in town when the battery died! I probably would have panicked if I hadn't been so well prepared. I had printed out 3 maps before I left town. 1) from Red Iguana to my hotel 2)from the hotel to the college fair 3)from the African restaurant I planned to have dinner at, back to the airport.

I had to scratch going to the breakfast joint since now i had no way of knowing how to get there. I decided to drive to the school and found an IHOP near by. After the fair I had to figure out how to get from the school to the Africa Restaurant (yes, that is the actual name) to meet one of my high school friends for dinner. He attends BYU and oddly enough, did his mission in South Africa. In order to figure out which highway was going to get me up the the restaurant I had to piece together my maps like a puzzle to see where they overlapped (luckily they did!). But as usual my friend was running late and I had to cancel my plans in order to get back to the airport in time for my flight.

It was a pretty fun turn around trip. of course, I had to have little adventures!
