The next morning, we followed the receptionists advice and headed to The Bunnery. This place was jam-packed, so we opted to get some of their homemade pastries and eat in the park. We had our pastries on a park bench in the sun and people watched for a while.
It wasn’t too hard to spot the locals-they all seemed to dress the same: leggings and a sporty down jacket and flats for the girls, jeans and a brightly colored down jacket for the men. We walked around and checked out the shops after our breakfast. Everyone was really friendly, but the shops were pretty pricey.
We left before the Christmas tree ceremony, which we thought was some strange local event, I mean, it isn’t even Thanksgiving! We found out later, however, that it was a 6-ton tree cut down from Teton NP for the White House. The tree’s first stop was downtown Jackson. Wyoming is very excited that their tree will be gracing the White House for the first time.
After noon, we got some burritos and hit the road. We’ve seen a lot on this trip so far, so we’ve started playing the game, "where would you rather live?" So far, Idaho Falls is at the bottom of both of our lists. There are many parts of Idaho that must be beautiful; Idaho is covered in National Forrest land. Idaho Falls is not one of these places.
We drove until we hit Provo, which is where we stayed for the night.
Provo is a college town (BYU), so we were hoping for some good eats. However, people don’t seem to use Yelp in Utah, so we were kind of on our own. The hotel was within walking distance from a strip of restaurants and we chose Rice King Provo for take out. Bad choice. I guess you can’t win them all.
