Very interesting
emilyr.home 26 contributions United Kingdom Oct 14, 2011
A very interesting visit, especially seeing the model of the temple. It's worth having a free tour, as long as you don't mind someone trying to convert you.

A Day In The Mormon Capital
Spent most all day in and around Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City.
My third or fourth visit over last 20 years.
Seems like a person always comes away with a little different perspective on what the world is really about.
Always spiritually rewarding.

Gisterenavond hadden we aan de concierge een plattegrondje gevraagd van downtown Salt Lake City en wat de highlights zijn.We kregen zoveel tips dat we gemakkelijk drie dagen hadden kunnen vullen:-)

Het hotel waar we in zaten, bleek precies in de zone te … -

Temple Square
We spent a very interesting time in Temple Square. 2 very nice Mormon girls (on their 18 month mission, which they do when they are 21) showed us around and told us all about their history and beliefs. There is a very interesting model of the Temple (which you are not allowed inside), showing the inside as well, and some interactive computers …

Visit to Temple Square, or, The Story of J-Smith
The Salt Lake Mormon Temple complex is A Trip.
Although I find Mormons to be extremely kind, honest, trustworthy and friendly people, the back-story of the Mormon religion completely confounds me. I guess no more so than any other religion's, but it somehow seems different since it was created in the 19th Century vs. several thousand … -

A free day in Salt Lake City
It was nice to explore the valley in which Salt Lake City was built. It's the cleanest city I've visited thus far. I love it in Utah!

Salt Lake City
We ventured down to downtown Salt Lake area today. Went to Temple Square, saw the Temple, Tabernacle, and the Beehive House. The weather was nice, very warm in the mid 80s and sunny, many nice flowers and scenery in and around square.
The Beehive House was very authentic in that it had some original furniture and items of Brigham Young, … -

Day 15 - Salt Lake City
It was the last day in paradise. While waiting for our dried scones to arrive, we sat on the back porch enjoying tea, juice, and the last beer (well, it was bread). It was hard to leave the Ginger Bread house. We came to enjoy the nice surroundings and the quiet part of town.
On the way to Salt Lake City, we drove through Idaho. We could …
