UTAH ADVENTURES: Till next time

 

We also visited the International Peace Gardens. Located in Jordan Park, offering floral architecture and displays representing other countries.

Spain was not represented, but Sweden was. This was part of the Swedish garden

                This was the plaque for the contribution to the park from the Swedish people of Utah

I was scared of Sandy's big dogs, Mac and Harley, but after I met them, they were sweet like big teddy bears.

Harley didn't know she was a big dog and kept on trying to sit on my lap.

                                                                              So sweet!!!

                                                                               A funny photo!

Leaving Salt Lake

Arriving at Long Beach

                                 Saying hi to Lulu. She looks so small. She was happy to see us.

It was a short but lovely trip. Thank you for everything Sandy. I love you, love your puppers too.

UTAH ADVENTURES: Sunset at the Great Salt Lake

 

I wanted to see another sunset before we went back to California. We drove to the Southernmost part of the Salt Lake, close to the Saltair via Magna. We kept on driving to a lonely area, walked over a gate and walked towards the lake. It was kind of eerie. The sunset was amazing, the sun reflecting upon the lake.

We kept on walking but it was too far to go all the way to the water

One of us dared to keep on going for a little while where the marshes started

I think this was Antelope Island

Until next time Salt Lake!

UTAH ADVENTURES: City Creek

 

Gallivan Center- Wall of Poems

City Creek Center is a must-see attraction, with a fully tractable glass roof that opens and closes, unique to any shopping center in the United States. A pedestrian sky bridge over Main Street unifies the center on two city blocks. Water features include a creek that runs through the center, a fish pond with local trout and waterfalls. 

City Graffitti

It was a hot day, but very pleasant walking thru the shopping center and discovering new areas.

Very nice Restaurant, nice area, Great food!

My berry salad, biggest blackberry ever. Delicious!

Loved the Margarita too

Very nice day
