LDS Conference Center Rooftop Garden
We went to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend a radio/TV broadcast performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir & Orchestra. This performance focused on the wonders of creation. It was emotionally moving and spiritually uplifting.
While in Salt Lake we also toured the LDS Conference Center (a granite building that seats 21,000) Rooftop Garden. The gardens simulate the two main geographical regions of Utah - prairie and mountains. As you can tell from the photos, they are not manicured, but left to grow naturally.
At a kiosk in Temple Square, we met a two-person Mormon missionary team. One girl was from India, the other from Richmond, Virginia. They were very sincere and seemed to be very happy to talk to us.
We ate at Sage's Cafe, another organic vegetarian restaurant. I really enjoyed my first grilled nut burger made with cashew and almond flours and ground chickpeas. Greg chose Chicken Tacos. When he discovered his chicken was really seitan, a wheat-based protein, he said that even though his meal was delicious, he was going to "hedge his bets" and only eat two of his three tacos. We asked for a doggie bag (yes, you can get such a bag at a vegetarian place) so that I could eat his third taco later.
