Tuesday 14.7. (Salt Lake City)
Today, we went through the city of Mormons. We arrived to the Temple Square, listened to the enthusiastic commentaries of the Mormon sisters and climbed toward the local Capitol. We saw the tabernacle, originally biult as a speaking place of the Mormon prophet Brigham Young, now it is especially a seat of the well-known Mormon choir. The whole city was practically rised from nothing on the salty desert, when Mormons came there in the first half of the 19. century. We wasched our legs a little in the Great Salt Lake, came to the frontier of the Great Salt Desert and then returned to the original southern route heading to Las Vegas. We stopped at the camp which we really liked (somewhat we got accustomed to the heated pool :), which lies right below one ofthe Mormon temples in the middle of nowhere (Temple Hill).
