28 cosy night at the mormons

i haven't told about my night at the mormons. after the hectic day in bryce canyon i arrived at bryce canyon pines, a motel run by a mormon family. we were supposed to be staying over at ruby's inn where i had stayed the week before with the other group. a place that i really like. but this was a hotel that my company does not use that often. i arrive there and one of my customers (one of the annoying foursome) came to tell me someone else was still in their room. i gave them my room keys but i was left without a room. some miscalculation or whatever. there was no hotelroom in the neighbourhood and the hotel manager asked if i wanted to stay in her private guest room. i didn't mind cos i had no other choice. apart from staying in a room with one of my passengers. the weird guy actually suggested it.

it was a nice gesture and i really liked the room. but it was above the lobby so i was awakened by telephone calls all the time and every half hour there was an old clock going 'ding dang dong'. i didn't sleep at all. i had a long conversation with the hotel manager and also with a girl who helped out there. we talked a lot about religion and it was really interesting. we talked about polygamy of course and other things. some villages still have polygamous mormons (orderville for instance) but they are not recognised by the mormon church anymore.

i want to spend more time in southern utah. i really like it there. need to go back to that hotel. i'm sure i'll get a discount. she was really sweet.
