Coming soon to a restroom near you... inevitably:

To the Square!

In case you didn't make it, or haven't gone before, and if enough of the residual spark of seasonal nostalgia is left for you to enjoy the sights, here are the images and the restroom rating of my visit to temple square this holiday season.


We saw the lights...




enjoyed the food of the Nauvoo Cafe (which is convenient, and tasty, if not amazingly inexpensive food)...



and of course, I took leave of our companions for a short venture to the restroom of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (which is also gorgeous)...



No, this isn't the restroom.



Here's the restroom...




and here's the rating...

The privy was a great one. You can even see the sheen, although being an out of the way restroom on the lower floor, I'm assuming there would be nicer ones on the main floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building... maybe. This one felt a little confining (if I were to get picky).

But anyways, the lights are always a favorite for the holiday season, and we enjoyed the company of good friends.

For next time, we'll have a special post on lyrical restroom pieces... Exciting!

On Bathroom Aesthetics and Impartiality

Since we tend to pay attention in general to our surroundings, in restrooms the details are all assimilated and translated into very generalized responses.

In other words, sometimes for as clean as a restroom may be, the aesthetics are just wrong and leave you feeling icky. I'll try to be as impartial as possible, but let's face it, a lot comes down to how I generally feel while there.

This will undoubtedly, inevitably show in my ratings.

Restroom Goals

Restrooms that I would like to rate, but will take some time to get there.

1. Angel's Landing - Scout Lookout (It is a strenuous, 2.5 mile hike to the top. Well worth it, probably nasty, but I'm not there yet in any case. :)

2. The Louvre - obviously great, it would have to be.
