We have been here a week and we still have not seen it all. What a beautiful city. The Mormon Tabernacle is so impressive, from the outside, and it sits on 35 acres in the middle of Salt Lake City. We walked around, met lots of very friendly, helpful people, and then went to look up our ancestors. What a hoot! In these 35 acres, are high rise buildings a HUGE conference center where the Choir practices and performs. We missed hearing them in person by one day, BUT we will go back. Lots to do and see in that city. The grounds are stupendous, great statues, flowers, trees, etc. If you are ever in Salt Lake, don't miss it. At night the Capitol Building is all lit up, with the mountains behind it. WOW!
The sign of the times, I am afraid, but we did see many panhandlers, so sad. A girl, about Gina's age was on a corner, back pack on her shoulder, big tears running down her face, when we gave her a little money.
Along the highway, of course there is all that salt on the salt flats, people make messages, their names, etc. out of rocks. I asked Bill to stop so we could make a heart with our initials in it. He wouldn't. Can you believe that, and he is sooo romantic usually.
Travelin' on to Reno, more tomorrow, unless we get just soooo busy again, seeing the sites.
Keep Smilin'
