Park City

This morning we had our first American breakfast in a diner near the hotel. It was amazing, I've never seen a breakfast menu like it! Ice cream floats, stacks of pancakes, eggs, bacon, all in massive quantities. Let's just say it's kept us going all day!

We drove over to Park City on the interstate. I'm getting used to the automatic gears, it makes driving a pretty relaxing experience - no danger of stalling! There are so many massive cars and trucks on the roads.

Park City is where they had the winter Olympics in 2002 and is a really nice town. They keep some of the lifts going in the summer so you can take mountain bikes up, which is the plan for tomorrow. The B&B we're staying in is lovely, the homeliest place you can imagine. The hostess literally welcomed us with open arms, she almost hugged Pete and is so interested in our trip and helping us plan what to do while we're here.

We had a wander round the town, through the market and up the main street. It definitely looks like the Western style American town you imagine, although a slightly upmarket version with expensive ski gear like in Courchevel!
