We parked on 200 South. To pay for the car park we had to find the number of the space, and then go to this strange machine, and poke the money into the correct numbered slot. Picture below. Madness.
It was a fun day. We had lunch at this cool southern themed cafe, and they served po'boys and drinks in jam jars. It was great, sitting outside. Tim ordered something called a 'trash plate'. Basically just a big pile of delicious FAT, cheeseysausageypotatoeyeggy goodness.
Went for a little walk, got accosted by about 19 homeless people, then pottered back to Temple Square to check out the Mormon-Fest. Temple Square is a massive space, in downtown SLC that is walled. Inside there are various big buildings. It's very peaceful, but slightly creepy. Lots if good Mormon volunteers, all walking around starting conversations with people, and SMILING. Timmy and I kept our heads down, lest we were converted.
In one room there is a massive statue of Jesus, and the walls are painted like space, with planets and clouds and stars. And there are sofas, and armchairs, so you can sit there, with Jesus. And then a VOICEOVER comes on, and it's JESUS! Telling us all stuff about being good, and whatnot. Quite unique.
When we came out I relaxed a bit by doing a silly walk. It helped shake off the god.
And then we came back to Lehi, did some laundry, chilled out a bit, preparing for Yellowstone tomorrow. Then, on Sky News, we discover a BEAR RAMPAGE attack has happened, AT A YELLOWSTONE CAMPSITE. UNPROVOKED ATTACK, on tents in a very populated campsite. Um, terrified much? So we then spent about 2 hours trying to find alternative accommodation. Somewhere with, like, walls and a door. It would be pretty tragic if we were eaten by a bear. So we are now staying at a lodge. It's super nice.
