Day 7, Sunday July 4th

Sunday morning we went to Temple Square, the center of the Mormon religion, founded by Brigham Young. We were escorted by several young ladies of the Mormon faith around the grounds. We saw the six-spired temple, but not being Mormons (in good standing), were not allowed to enter.

We did, however, go into the dome shaped Tabernacle and were treated to a 4th of July concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Dawn even got to sing with the choir! Our tour concluded in a room that contained a magnificent statue of Jesus.

In the afternoon, we went to the Great Salt Lake. Several people on the tour put on their suits and went for a swim - rather a float - in the Great Salt Lake. We also visited Bingham Canyon open-pit copper mine - the world's largest man-made excavation.
