Utah- day 1

I've reached Utah.

We stayed with my brother's boss at his home yesterday.  They're a really nice family of 4 (wife, son and their dog=))  They were very hospitable. 
They have a nice, quaint home facing a gorgeous.. I'll have to ask my brother for the technical name of the hill/cliff in front.of their home.  I'll post pics later. 

I'm sitting in the local library.  It's like being in a corner of the adult department of the library back home.  Pretty quiet town.. Still reminds me of home.. like suburbia in how it's quiet, yet alive.

I came to the library too early.. so, I went to check out (one of) the grocery store/s in town... across the street was this "Gear, Apparel, Books & Coffee" shop.. It's like a little aged-hippie hang out.. maybe yuppie ;)  Anyway, I might ask them if they're hiring. 
We'll see.  Right now my list of places to apply include the library, grocery store & book store.

We apparently reached Utah a day early, so our housing wasn't ready...  I'm going to go meet them at the house at 3..  It is12 right now.. maybe I'll go explore a little more.  My brother and his boss have gone to work.

Well, I still plan on checking out the animal sanctuary, so that I can volunteer there.  Also, my brother's place of internship accepts volunteers as well.. so, I might be helping some paleontologist out.. with digging out in the field, perhaps if I'm lucky.

My bro and I ended up taking loads of pics on the way up here, so I'll post them when I've settled in at the house.. we'll be living in the basement of the home, while a couple are renting the upstairs.  It's really the guy's  who's in charge of the birds at the animal sanctuary home.  It looks like he's moving out, but I think I can connect to the sanctuary through him..  if I meet him.  

Apparently they have some of the cleanest air and water (in the USA) up here.
I'm looking forward to detoxing, getting healthy, going hiking/camping, building strength and endurance, working, volunteering, painting, drawing, photography, studying hindi and meditating on where I am spiritually.  I am in need of finding balance in all aspects of my life.  Spiritually, I'm in limbo... & we'll see where I go from here on out.  I brought a few spiritual books a friend recommended that I will read.

Anyway, I'm probably boring you ;-P.. lol

p.s. my hair is growing out a little already!  It's buzzish at this point.
