Salt Lake City

Yesterday I arrived in Salt Lake City Utah to visit Daniel and Elizabeth. For dinner they treated me to Elizabeth's famous yummy chicken BBQ pizza.

Today we went downtown to see the sights. It was such a beautiful day.
Daniel taking on John Stockton
We received a really nice tour of the temple ground. Our tour guides were friendly California Mormon sisters.


At noon we got to hear a little recital in the tabernacle. This is where the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearses and performs.
Next we went to the newly constructed convention center. It seats 20,000 some people and also has a large organ.

The roof of the convention center was truly amazing. It was one big terrace, complete with fountain, flowing water and landscaped with wild flowers and native plant life. It felt like standing on a mountain.
The view was absolutely beautiful from the roof.



We stopped by Trolley Square to see where Elizabeth works.


Then we had the most amazing lunch at Lunaberry. We had chicken-mango crepes and mango frozen yogurt.


Tonight we'll see if the Jazz indeed do have the x-factor. Can't wait to go to my first ever NBA game.
