Greetings from Sat Lake City. We're breaking with tradition ( and that's going to Oregon and Washington in the fall) this year and have headed East on interstate 80 to Salt Lake City.
We've spent the past three days touring the city and most of the time has been spent in Temple Square. The architecture is incredible and there's lots to take in. The grounds are immaculate and our Mormon guides on our many tours are outstanding. More information on the Mormon faith than I thought possible. After three days if I'm not a Mormon I guess I'll never become one.
On Sunday morning we boarded a tour bus for a full day of visiting the city. It's a great way to see the sights and not have to worry about traffic. Our first stop was at the Mormon Tabernacle to hear the choir. What an amazing concert. A half hour of super music from the 385 voice choir with full orchestra accompanying them. It was a highlight of our time here.
Last night we visited with friends we haven't seen in a long time. It was a special evening and they took time out of their weekend to see us.
A wonderful evening and thanks Pam!
This morning we headed back to Temple Square to visit the Mormon conference center. It is truly a wonder. In the main auditorium seen here there is seating for 21,000 and it is host to conferences and Choir performances at Christmas time and during the summer when visitors overwhelm the Tabernacle.
Tomorrow it's off to Green River in South Eastern Utah to meet friends and visit Goblin Valley State Park then on to Moab, Utah. More from there.
