Finally, we left the hotel to do some sightseeing. We took a drive to Brighton and Alta, located in Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon, respectively. Both cities seem to be ski resort communities with many ski lifts. There were quite a few people snowboarding and skiing. Large, beautiful homes speckle the mountain sides. I can only imagine how much those go for. I didn't snap a single photo. It was all nice but not camera worthy.
For dinner this evening, we're going to attempt The Mayan Adventure. I'm hoping Sundays, later evening will be ideal.
OK, we're back from the Mayan. Allow me to become critical of the place. We pulled up to the restaurant and were happy that the parking lot appeared somewhat empty. In front of the building stood a nice looking fountain. It would have been nicer if it actually had water in it. We entered the front doors and were promptly greeted. I gave my name, the wait was to be 5-15 minutes. The waiting area had lots of Mayan decor/artifacts. I spotted 3 animatronic parrots and the like and all were lifeless. 2 minutes from when I gave my name, we were called to be seated. We were seated to the side of the water fall stage area which was OK. The place was decorated very well and was similar to "The Rain Forest Cafe". The menu choices were sparse and disappointing. The chips at the table were warm but overly salted with chunks of sea salt. The salsa was lame. I had a shredded pork chimichanga which was dry and only contained pork inside. Accompanied by refried beans (I've had better out of a can), and yellow rice. Jim had a pork enchilada with the same dry stuff. The service was great. The show is done approximately every 10 minutes. Reviews for the restaurant say the show rotates so you won't keep seeing the same one. A male and female cliff dived several times each, while a "goddess" in costume banged a drum and pranced. We couldn't understand what was piped through the speakers because it was too low, or perhaps distorted. The prices were fair. That's my review.
Oh, and we went to Wal-Mart again...... oye vey.
