I have just been on my longest bus trip yet, lasting around 40 hours. So I think Greyhound deserve to be blogged. The Greyhound busses are much like a normal bus, unless you get a specail one, these have radios and wifi so you can surf while on the move. The drivers all seem to be different, some nice and chatty, and some a little angry and uptight, you can usually tell which you get when they make there speach at the start of a journey, if they make a joke he or she's ok, if they say "it's against the law to cross the white line while in motion" then you know he or she is evil. If you're lucky you you get a double seat on the longer journeys and get to spreadout and lie down, and maybe sleep for a while.
I strolled around Salt Lake City for a few hours while waiting for my next bus. In that time I shopped, went to the cinema and got shown around the Mormon Temple and grounds by a couple of Mormon sisters. The square which holds the temple, a church, information centres and other wonders was a peaceful place, and one could understand why the Mormons built it. The temple was built by the Mormons by there own hands some 200 years ago, and since then the religion has grown all over the world.
Sister Wingate and Sister Monroco showed me around, I think they were trying to convert me. They were very nice and gave me a blue book to read. That's all for this episode, next time San Fran, bye!
