Signed up for 8am tomorrow - 90 minute $150 “no way is it a hard sell” wanna buy into timeshare. What could go wrong. $150. Foreshadowing!

To the strip - plan is walk around aimlessly and have consciousness hammered with whatever the opposite is of majestic Zion crayons, solitude, big sky vistas and surrounding nature.
We saw
Peacock feather bow ties

Venetian Gondolas
Donald trump toilet brushes

Adventure to find the CVS - it’s just there. 10mins later we have crossed bridges and forded streams to get there. 2 more on the way back!
Shortcut through the “mile of shops”. Or was that the muscle mile. Exits seem non existent. Must have been a slight curve as sometime later we arrived at the exit. The same place we went in!
Wednesday Jan 8
