The drive was very long... 12 hours overall with some stops. I was exhausted last night haha. Getting up at 4AM and then driving on four hours of sleep is not the greatest. We went through Wyoming which was very boring, and then through Utah and Nevada. I had never been to Utah before, and I have to say I'm very impressed.
The landscape was so mountainous and green, and there was so much cool geology! Also if you've never seen it, the great salt lake is MASSIVE. It was also really interesting driving by it, there were little messages and pictures traced out in the salt with rocks. It was cute driving by and seeing "I love you" and peace signs and hearts. I remember seeing something about Trump too. Gave me something to look at besides just salt.
So far Nevada seems rather dull. There aren't many trees around here, just dirt and scrubby bushes. It is the desert after all. Winnemucca is a very, very small town with very little going on except puns and events that make fun of the town name. You'd be surprised how many ways you can use the word Winnemucca.
When we got to where I'll be living it didn't seem like much, but aside from some minor maintenance fixes, the place where I'm living is pretty darn nice! :)
After unloading my stuff we went out to the Martin Hotel for dinner. They served a variety of Basque foods and all of it was delicious. They had the weirdest food combo I've ever tried: salad with beans on top and salt, garlic powder, and pepper on top of that. It was sooooo good. Like I would eat it again in a heartbeat.
I'm planning on meeting my boss for dinner tonight to meet him before the big day next Tuesday!
I am both terrified and excited for everything going on. Now to unpack my life for the umpteenth time and get settled in. I'll keep posting updates!
