Provo, Ut

It's a beautiful sunny day, not too hot or too cool.  We walked (well, Rita carried us) the block to downtown (past the temple) to have lunch at Dos Hermanos.  Not a bad Mexican restaurant - not very spicy but the food and service were good.    The trees are starting to turn but there are still lot's of flowers around the downtown area.

Provo, Utah

After Chenoa we spent a couple of lazy days at Rita's brother's house.  Fresh vegies from his garden for dinner.  Rita did some laundry and read some books and then packed up again on Tuesday and drove to Chicago. 

We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel (left the car in their parking lot) and took the shuttle over the next morning to O'hare Airport.  Rita's cellphone battery died after her wake up call and so she didn't get the message that the 7:35 am flight was going to be delayed until at least noon.  Instead she got to the airport in time to catch the 6:30am flight to Salt Lake City.  Good thing too because she would have been very grumpy sitting around the airport for hours and then getting into Provo late. 

The flight was very nice and we got some great views of the mountains, the Great Salt Lake and Salt Lake City itself before the plane landed.

We drove to Provo and the motel is just a block from the very pretty downtown.  We took some pictures last night and will post them soon.
