Yesterday we went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, after a brief bike ride in the university arboretum. We had a tour with a couple Mormon missionaries who explained what Mormon means, about their temple, and also about Jesus Christ. The place was immaculate and beautiful, with beautiful paintings, sculpture, gardens and furniture. I looked up some information about our family on the Mormon genealogy database, but wished I had more time. Then we drove outside of town and went whitewater rafting on the Weber River that feeds into Salt Lake City. It was a beautiful day. Then we drove from Park City to Cedar City, Utah last evening and went downtown to Cedar City last night. They were having a street fair. We couldn't quite figure out the theme, but there were old cars, a band, street vendors and food. Today we go to Flagstaff to get Beth and the kids. We will camp at the Grand Canyon South Rim tonight!
