Salt Lake City Day Two

We did two tours today.  A tour of the city and one that included the copper mine and the Great Salt Lake.
On the city tour we visited the Pioneer Heritage Park, the State Capitol Building, B. Young's home, and the Tabernacle.
The copper mine included a mountain road that went from asphalt to gravel to dirt and included a lot of switchbacks.  Barry was glad not to be driving and not taking our van on the road.
I've explained some of the things under each picture.
This is our last day as a tourist.  Tomorrow we travel to Breckinridge, Colorado, for our niece's, Megan's, wedding to Zach on Friday.  I will still blog, but we are really on the way home.
Enjoy and talk to you later.

handcart with all their belongings.

The State Capitol Building

The copper mine.
The wind was blowing my hair straight.
The mine is a mile deep and three miles wide.

B. Young had the symbol of the eagle on a bee hive.
The eagle to show allegiance to the US and
the bee hive to show the culture of the Mormans.


B.Young's home.
We eat a meal on the main floor which was the
kitchen, dining, and living areas.
The second floor was the wives' rooms and
the third floor was the children's rooms.
We did not tour the other floors, just the main floor.

The Great Salt Lake

It was great to be in the Tabernacle.  
Beautiful place and we heard a 30 organ recital.
