5/09/06 - Temple Square Thursday we walked around Temple Square for a few hours, taking photos of all the beautiful flowers, buildings, fountains and statues. We learned a bit about the Mormons at the North Visitor's Center and I loved the 11 foot replica of Thorvaldsen's We also took a tour of the Conference Center which has quite a lot of beautiful artwork. It also has an interesting garden and a fountain on the roof which cascades down the side of the building to the street level. That evening we sat in on a rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The Tabernacle is being renovated so they hold most of their gatherings in the 21,000 seat Conference Center. The choir was practicing for their 4000th broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word, a weekly radio program on the CBS network. 5/14/06 - Antelope Island State Park 5/19/06 - Park City 5/20/06 - LDS Museum Then we went to the LDS Museum of Church History and Art and looked at some very nice artwork there. They also have a good historical section featuring each of the LDS Presidents, as well as many artifacts. I found this Sunday we had an excellent Mexican meal at the Red Iguana. |
