Salt Lake City

Once we got to SLC the snow stopped and we went to a lookout point. We saw the city from above and the lake in the distance but unluckily it was very cloudy. We also saw an engagement on the hill (while I was wearing two pants and gloves the girl had a dress, the guy shorts, it was crazy). On the way to our inn we stopped at the nicest public toilet of the US - official ranking that we heard on the radio. Today another friend joined us, and we had a nice dinner, finally no fast food.
In SLC we went to the Capitol, which was again quite nice, unfortunately without a view on the top. We were lucky enough to have a small tour of the supreme court room with an associate judge, who told us about the work of the supreme court of Utah. Afterwords we went to the temple square. The temple is being renovated right now (as there are many earthquakes around, it is being made earthquake proof). As a visitor you can only enter after the restauration and before the dedication, but we were able to visit the Conference Center where they gather twice a year. Missionaries from every country were walking all around and giving tours of the building. It was only girls, who spent 18 months there, learning and teaching about the religion. It was quite incredible to learn what they believe in and how the church works.Читать далее
