El Final

Everything here is written in both English and French. Some things are only written in French - this is not helpful for those of us who don't parlez.

Another restless night - I guess it's just one of those stretches. The worst night of sleep I can remember having, occurred in Argentina. It was the middle of the summer, no insulation, no fan, lots of mosquitoes. Today it's coupled with an early rising. We have a morning session, and thus weren't able to sleep in.

The pattern on the carpet in this hotel looks like amoebas. I guess, though, that they would better be classified as plant cells because of their rigid pattern...

Conclusions about Canada - at least in Winnipeg:

Canadians in general have little to no sense of humor. If they do it's usually only during certain times of the day.

Canadians are really good at getting drunk because there's not much else to do here.

Canadians are somewhere between America and England in terms of culture, language, candy, and dental hygiene. It's really an odd mixture of the two countries. And I'm afraid they may have gotten the worst of both worlds.

Nametags, as everyone should know, aren't good for leather or suede. When I hand people nametags, and they're wearing a leather or suede coat, I say "Now don't put this on your leather/suede jacket because it'll ruin it." About 90% of the time I get a deer-in-the-headlights response. Is it really that hard to understand?

Some people smell like museums. This is not ok.

We were able to catch a couple of earlier flights and thus arrived in SLC about 3 and a half hours earlier than anticipated. This brought great joy to my heart. I sure to love my Utah.
