In Salt Lake City I only spent 17 hours. The owners of the Saltair B & B knew that I would arrive in Salt Lake City late at night and I had asked them if they would help me plan my time there to see as much as possible. During breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup (a new taste for me) they told me of the plans they had made for my day. The rooms at Saltair were beautifully decorated with many antique lamps and accessories.
There was time to see the Morman Center with the Temple Square, the library with the geneology archives. the rotunda with the well known sculpture of Christ by Bertel Thorvaldsen. In the Tabernacle I attended a concert by an organist on one of the largest organs in the world. 

On the ride to the airport I saw the high snow covered mountains in the background and got an impression of the scenery that the visitors will see when attending the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002.
