|| Salt Lake City in the rain

We stayed in the Salt Lake city for two nights, in the Red Lion hotel. It was a very fine hotel, right in the downtown and beside the most expensive hotel in the front of the mountains. It had private balconies for every room, pool and a whirlpool where I relaxed my skin and feet.

The city hall is the most fine one around the nation, it was so quiet that visitors are welcome to enter any time, while officers and personnel working in the offices. The granite marbles had different natural designs in fours and together they make diagonal patterns. There were four prominent statues in the main hall, one for technology and science, one for art, but forgot the other two.

It was a rainy day, but still visible are the houses in the far back in the middle of the mountains, reminding me of those million dollar estates in San Francisco in the midway of the mountain driveways.



All folks got out to attend a quick tour of the Mormon Temple Square. A sister Yao from Singapore was greeting us but later was criticized by me for having walked too fast, and spoken too softly. She had us for 20min, but couldn't tell any of the essence of this Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saint. I probably had high standards, but she was just incapable of drawing us in or anyone to understand of the faith that she held and the powers she inherited for being a devout member. She was on her 18mon duty of serving herself to the god. As usual, none of the photo shots inside the buildings were good, not religious, I always thought it has something to do with the spiritual forces.
