Friday - March 28
Hung around in the RV for a while, deciding what to do today. Finally decided we'd head downtown again, possibly visit Temple Square, plus I wanted to go to a specific store in the area. The store was in this neat outdoor style mall (Gateway Mall), so we wandered around in there and had a late lunch. Wandered some more, then decided we'd leave the return visit to Temple Square for tomorrow.
Back to the RV to enjoy beverages and reading in the sun. Relatively quiet day.

Saturday - March 29
Major winds today. Temperature not too bad, but we waffled about whether to head out. Finally decided that since tomorrow's forecast is definitely worse than today, we should keep doing the tourist thing. Back to Temple Square, a 10 acre complex including the Temple and the Tabernacle. We spent about three hours checking out the other buildings and spoke with several of the LDS members (Mormons) who were volunteering at various venues. A very interesting and informative time, and some beautiful architecture.
We really enjoyed our time in Temple Square, and found the whole area had a real feeling of peacefulness and serenity. Every building we went in to, or stood looking at, there was a volunteer there to answer any questions you might have. They never tried to "preach" to you, and although they have very strong religious beliefs, that is their choice, and your's is your's. I was impressed with their emphasis on family, and on their commitment to humanitarian works.
Quiet evening in. Decided to hook up the hard drive and watch a couple of shows we had recorded. Until next time dear followers, I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
