Good afternoon from Salt Lake City. Yesterday started off with us looking forward to a short drive into SLC. Unfortunately, we ran into a stopped line of cars and trucks for a bad wreck to clear. We sat or crept by the south end of the Great Salt Lake for three hours. We enjoyed a car picnic of snicker bars and Jin's beef jerky and later the bottle of complimentary wine given to us by Hotel Monaco on our arrival. The hotel restaurant was very good and we turned in early. Sunday, Mike and I walked up to Temple Square and enjoyed the Sunday performance of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir being recorded for radio and TV. The campus tour took an hour and we followed that up with brunch. There is not much to do in the city and the thought of climbing back into the truck led us to the decision to rest for the day and then attend an early dinner and a play across the street at the Capitol Theatre this evening. We saw in the news that a climber fell to his death off of Half Dome in Yosemite yesterday in the rain and hail on the slippery surface. They escorted the rest of the hikers on the trail back down. That is so sad, but that would never have been us, as we rarely left the turnouts or the easy paths. We have turned east now and are on the second leg of our trip. We look forward to visiting our friends on this last four weeks of our travels back to Atlanta. Tomorrow....Jackson WY for a two week respite!
