festivities

some of my favorite pictures from this time in my life six years ago...during byu's fake spring break, aka "salt lake city olympics 2002."

did we seize our chance to watch olympic sports, you ask?

No, we most certainly did not. we did venture to SLC and walk around and look at the scary people dancing in the streets. we did take pictures of the men searching our car to make sure we weren't bringing any explosives into the city (although when we took pictures they asked us if we were byu students, we said yes and continued to snap away, and they quit searching the trunk, rolled their eyes, and waved us on past).

so this is what we did. we being my dear dear friend and roommate jen and myself.

we went to bob's mission farewell in fruit heights.

and then we drove south, south, south, to winslow, arizona.

where we watched the olympics on TV while six weeks worth of laundry churned and spun, visited flagstaff and ate at the flaming wok and watched the count of monte cristo, caught up on six weeks of lousy sleep, and then proceeded to...

...four-wheeler through the desert (this is jen, not me)...



...slide on our backsides down the cliffs of the Little Painted Desert (it is COLD there in February, let me tell you!)



...buy cool turquoise jewelry on the Navajo reservation...

...and fall into the Grand Canyon.

the end.

where were YOU during the olympics?
