Monday/Tuesday

I have nothing exciting to report.    Monday Dave and Jack played golf while I stayed home and took care of the last few reservation details for our summer in Oregon.     Later that evening we met Jack and Marilyn at the University of Utah's  Pioneer Theater Company for their production of The Count of Monte Cristo.      It was exceptionally good, the singing was first class, the story was dramatic and well told, music was exciting and the sets and costumes were spot on.    All together a different and very pleasant evening for us.

Today, Tuesday, Dave and I went to Park City to look around.   The weather was lovely - clear and sunny albeit a bit chilly - and the drive was beautiful.    We had lunch/breakfast on historic Main street and then walked up one side of the street and down the other looking in shops, making a few purchases,  and enjoying the views.

After lunch we  drove up to Empire Pass and the resorts under the  Deer Valley Ski Resort umbrella.

The entire area is covered by fancy condos, hotel resorts  and huge, spectacular ski homes.     We came upon one small plot of land with three tiny abandoned houses set in a sea of conspicuous wealth.     This is what Park City must have looked like once upon a time.    We wonder how much developers will pay for this tiny square of land.....

We've extended our stay here by one day and will probably end up staying into the weekend.....waiting for our new purchase to arrive.    We're not going to hold our breaths, we'll enjoy where we are while we're here and then move on when everything comes together.
