i ate san francisco, part 5.

real mountains!!
…and then five minutes later we rolled out of bed at 3 a.m. to brush our hairs and teeths, catch a cab and head back to the aeroport. We left right on time at 6 o’clock to fly to Salt Lake City for a quick layover. I slept the entirety of that plane ride and woke up as we started our descent over beautiful Utah! GORRRRGEOUS! I thought I saw pretty mountains on the first flight—these were absolutely, 100% breath-taking! As we landed, I swear the captain goofed and was literally landing us in a salt lake, but luckily we hit asphalt (I’m sure you were worried!). We unloaded, grabbed some b’fast, and then reloaded on the next plane out.

caferine :)
I sat next to a Chatty Kathy, unfortunately for me, but he soon understand my “I’m putting my ear phones in to make you shut up” action, fortunately for him :) The entire flight back was quite warm for me as the sun was shining directly THROUGH the plane wall onto my right side. We flew the whole way, it seemed, over big puffy clouds and along a bright blue sky. As we passed through the big white clouds, however, as we get closer to Boston, it was very apparent that what was above (stunning!) was not necessarily below (kinda gross). We were on the ground by 4:30, in the T by 5:15, and at our class (with suitcases) by 6!

It was all that we could do to stay awake during the lecture—even though it was simply wonderful, per usual—but our eye lids had minds of their own!! Three hours and 45 minutes later, we were on our way home at last! Jocelyn and I made a necessary detour afterward, of course, at the movie theater to buy our HP 7.1 tickets, and THEN we were on the T, off the T, in the house and I was happily in the bed :) …and not an air mattress this time! 

say cheese,
