SALT LAKE CITY

yesterday we all went into salt lake city by train...marci and Katie had done this trip before so they knew what trains to take and then transfer over to another one...to get the best deal we caught the 10;10 train...which was about an hr then a transfer then another transfer and we ended up at UTEP where Katie will be starting college in a couple of weeks...got a tour of the campus and it is up hill just like cornell...a lot of the campus was built for the 2002 winter Olympics ..so all the dorms--football stadium--rec buildings are only a few yrs old....what a great way to get some new buildings... then back downtown for lunch--and then off to the morman and their HUGE complex...lots of beautiful flowers planted all around...huge buildings...we also went into the tabernacle where the choir sings of course they weren't singing while we were there and we were surprised about the size...we thought that the building would be very big oh it was big but not as huge as we thought it might have been...the morman influence is sure all around...
we also toured some of the Olympic sites..wanted to go to a Olympic museum but guess what it has been moved to park city, ut
