Cowboys still exist

After a freezing night, breakfast tastes even better with German bread from the German Bakery Forscher. Although $7.95 for a pound of bread is not cheap. We have visitors who enjoy the grains on top.

We reach the 'real' Bryce Canyon, as evidenced by the bustling crowds, similar to Disneyland. We walk halfway around the amphitheater and can now see the same rock formations from above as we did the day before, but now in the mass of people.

A young couple tries to capture the impressions in drawings. The woman does a better job, according to the young man. They are from California and, like everyone here, very friendly and allow us to take their photo.

After about four hours, we've had enough. We could spend another four hours here and not get bored. We board the shuttle bus and return to the parking lot. From here, we continue towards Salt Lake City, which we will not reach on this day. We choose Fillmore.

On the way there, we stumble upon a cattle drive with real cowboys in the town of Antimony. They do it as casually as you would imagine, and the whole town is watching.

It's hard to imagine that Fillmore was once the capital of Utah. It is more like a small village. However, the campground is good and for the first time in weeks, we can walk to a restaurant. However, it is rather ordinary. A buffet Chinese restaurant. Somehow, nobody is interested in us. We get back at them by stealing two teaspoons. They are in short supply here. The food is decent and a change of pace.

Finally, the surprise of the evening: at the gas station, they sell beer, of all things, in Utah. You can even put together your own six-pack from microbreweries in the state.
