Day 19 - Salt Lake City





We left Bryce Canyon this morning around 9:00 and arrived in Salt Lake City mid-afternoon. We met my friend Bartly at the new Mormon temple for a tour. A rare opportunity to see the inside of a Mormon temple. It will be dedicated in August and the public will no longer be able to see the inside.

After checking into the hotel and refreshing a bit, Bartly and a friend picked us up and we went downtown Salt Lake City. Such a knowledgeable young man about the history of Salt Lake City and the Mormons. We first went to the State Capital building ... beautiful. We then had dinner overlooking temple square. Afterward we toured the Mormon tabernacle and the Conference Center.

It was so good seeing Bartly again. He was a student in the Planning Program at UVA and one of the nicest young men I know.

I haven't had much computer access recently and have lots of picture to post. I'll have to save that for another time or even after I get home. We need to get an early start tomorrow morning for Yellowstone. It's a long drive.

Okay ... a few from the past few days .... at the top of the page.
