Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City is home of the Mormons, but also a modern city full of tasty looking restaurants we didn't have time to visit. We did a tour of the Mormon temple square, which was pretty interesting and explained a few quirky things I vaguely knew about the Mormons.

Here's where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir lives, the acoustics are amazing, you wouldn't want to be whispering in church.



We learned that they believe families are eternal and therefore perform rituals for dead family members, which explains their well-known, huge geneological research library. We attempted to find our family trees and realised we need to talk to our grandmas more because they know everything.


Sad news: It looks like in the promised land you still have to be a slave to the wage.



We spent the night at Walmart again, this time with 6 RVs and about 15 semi-trucks who idled their engines all night, the white noise made for a great night's sleep.
