Butter Lamb Gets Religion

Salt Lake City is of course, the center of the Church of Latter Day Saints (The Mormons). We toured the Temple Square, which is essentially the Mormon Vatican. As you enter, some very perky young women meet you and ask where you're from, why you're there, etc. This general theme continues throughout the grounds, and the later tour. Young perky women asked us where we were from, and why we were there. Perhaps it's important to remember that the tour guides aren't just tour guides, they are also missionaries. Their friendliness makes more sense then.

Here are a couple photos of the Temple Square and the very famous Tabernacle. We decided it would not be very respectful to bring Butter Lamb out. Plus, it was really hot.





On our way out, we took a stop at the Great Salt Lake. Yes, it is salty. It's quite pretty, and a bit surreal. Butter Lamb was getting a bit stir crazy in the cooler, and begged to come out. However, he could only stay in his box. It's a desert! Deserts are not good places for young lambs of butter!
