SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Well, we made it into Salt Lake City.  The KOA campground is very large, over 1000 sites and they give us a pull thru that is supposed to be 67 feet long, ha ha, we overlap so they put safety cones around us.  We set up and are hungry so we set out for the "Red Iguana" mexican restaurant.  However, there are at least 25 to 30 people waiting outside so we drive around and finally end up at an Arby's.

It is Friday Morning, beautiful weather in the 70's, we go downtown to sightsee all the Mormon churches and buildings.  We get to a place called Temple Square which is an area a few blocks square which encompasses all the church buildings and the place where the Tabernacle Choir sings.  We walk around the gorgeous gardens with lots of roses and take pictures of all the buildings.  Then we go to a shopping area called City Creek and have coffee and banana nut bread overlooking dancing waters fountain, classical music and waters dance to the tempo.  Lots of walking, beautiful day and back to campground.  We go out to a wonderful steak house, similar to ruth chris, called Flemings Prime and have wonderful Filet Mignons, salads with lemon vinigarette dressing and fresh made mashed potatoes.  The dinner is fantastic.  We then walk around the little mall the restaurant is in and go to Barnes and Noble.  Joel gets the new Carl Hiacssen book,  "Bad Monkey" and I get a jigsaw puzzle of beautiful butterflies.  Nice evening. 

Saturday, another great day.  I put up some laundry and we get our corvette gussied up and head out for a car show a few miles away.  It is at a place called "Kin Dig It Designs" where they do all the custom cars.  What beautiful cars we see.  They have a big turnout and we get a free lunch, hot dogs with all the fixins, chips and drinks.  Delicious, and we stay for about 3 hours.  Home again, I am doing this blog and Joel is out talking with the neighbors.  Everyone is very friendly here.  We will be leaving tomorrow morning for Rawlings, Wyoming.  We will be there for 2 nights and then go to Buffalo Wyoming to meet our tour group.  I will keep you posted.  Meanwhile enjoy the photos of all the beautiful Mormon builds and of the car show.  The first pic is of our nice campsite, shady, we don't have to use any awnings.
