Mormons at Salt Lake City

After checking in at the hotel, we went for a stroll towards Temple Square and visited the Tabernacle where the largest organ in the world is: the Tabernacle organ consists of 11.763 organ pipes! At the north visitor center they pointed us towards the Conference Center with new auditorium, built between 1997 and 2000, where instead of 5000 people at the Tabernacle, 22.000 people can gather at once!! A very friendly elderly guide by the name of Kenneth Nielsen showed us the whole building and even the park-like rooftop, from where we got a wonderful view of whole Salt Lake City. Water runs through the roof park and cascades down the front of the building! The steel construction supporting the building was made by Belgian engineers! Our friendly guide let us go with a big smile on our faces. We went back across the street to see the model of the Mormon temple in the South visitor centre. Hunger struck us and we strolled along the streets towards the Gateway Mall with lots of shops and grill or fast food restaurants. We ate at the Panda Express. There was no Kung-Fu included...
