August 20th, 2009 Heber to SLC to Orem

“We got up early and had breakfast and started on the task of cleaning out our campsite (Sariah 1). Breakfast was leftovers of everything, rather interesting really:

From Heber we went to SLC where we found a land management office and got 4 stamps. We parked under the Conference Center and strolled Temple Square. The planters were being refaced with granite and so it was a bit noisy. At the North Visitor Center we saw the Christus Statue, but not it’s presentation. While Denise made arrangements to see her friend Jenny, AJ and I looked at a presentation on prophets. The church had a lot of good exhibits. We met Denise’s friend Jenny at a place called the Fallafel House and had middle eastern food.

They still wanted to talk so we went to Sugar House Park. Having many coffee houses and churches not of the LDS faith, it was defunately the non-Mormon part of town. We saw a place called Snelgroves and thought we could get ice cream but it turned out to be a distributorship location for Dreyers.

We ended up going to Baskin Robbins, here we said goodbye to Jenny and went on to Orem. We got to Uncle Dave’s house around 8PM , but they were not home. They left the front door open for us and so we let ourselves in. Several people in the neighborhood eyed us strangly, a pair of elderly ladies asked me who I was, she seemed ok with me once I spoke to her in Spanish. We stayed up a bit late talking to Uncle Dave and Aunt Bonnie, then we went to bed.”
