Salt Lake City Temple Square, Utah

Monday, May 19, 2008

sunny 37 °C

Another hot day in Salt Lake City. We drive downtown to Mormon Temple Square. I don't agree with several beliefs of the Mormon faith, but it is an interesting religion with interesting history, so we spend several hours touring the Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) campus. They give us a tour of their facilities, including their unique convention center with a roof that has large trees growing on the top.

Interesting day; despite my disagreement with some of their beliefs. They are a fast growing religious group; one can't help but be curious about their history and current organization.

Large statue of Jesus is one of the first places they take us to on their tour.

Beautiful temple (which we are not allowed to enter; only Mormons in good standing with the church are allowed to enter):

Beautiful grounds:

Hot day, so we return to the campground and enjoy the swimming pool.
