Several of our friends flew in for the day, a few we haven&#8217;t seen for several years. Weddings [and funerals] are an occasion for a reunion.<\/p>\n<p>On our drive back to the hotel, we saw a few fireworks at a distance. Happy Birthday, USA!<\/p>\n<p><strong>July 5 &#8211; Friday Hurricane, Utah<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Springhill where we stayed serves a very good full and free breakfast &#8211; biscuit and gravy, muffins, cereal, fruit, etc. Our friends came from their hotel to join us.<\/p>\n<p>Then we went together to Antelope Island on the Salt Lake.<\/p>\n<p>Salt Lake is indeed salty, and stinky. Lots of sea gulls come to feed (on the brine shrimp in the lake) and breed. I mean LOTS of sea gulls which make a pretty big mess, resulting in lots of flies, and stink! Nevertheless we walked into the water, and it was very warm.<\/p>\n<p>We were hoping to sight a buffalo (or bison), and we did see one on the side of the road, that was pretty exciting. We were able to see a herd far away, which looked like a herd of cows, which was not very exciting. But still, now I can say I&#8217;ve seen a live bison herd, and ate a bison burger! At $10.99 a burger, this is probably the last time I&#8217;d eat one. At least it was good.<\/p>\n<p>Drove to Hurricane outside of Zion National Park to prepare for a day of outdoor activities tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 4, 2013 Thursday &#8211; La Caille If you think\u00a0La Caille\u00a0looks like a Thomas Kincaid painting, you are right.
