#6 Salt Lake City, Utah

Sat 30th
The whole state of Utah is very pretty. We saw mountain after mountain after mountain. The city of Salt Lake seems to be surrounded by them. We awoke to a gorgeous Saturday morning. Just four days before it was snowing here. Despite the wonderful weather, we were surprised by how calm the city was. We only saw a few joggers with dogs around town. We stopped and looked at Capitol Hill as well as a couple of other sites around town.
We thought it was interesting that Salt Lake City's layout is on a grid with street numbers increasing away from the Temple in all directions. (See street map below)
For lunch we went to Crown Burgers, another Man v. Food location. Andy had a Crown Burger, Aimy had a junior Crown Burger. Both had a char broiled beef patty and pastrami on top. It was GOOOOD! There was also a homemade fry sauce that was similar to a Puerto Rican dipping sauce that Aimy's grandma makes (for "surullitos").
We went to get an oil change on our car since we have already reached almost 2000 miles on the road.
We are now on our way to Boise. We should be arriving around 6:00 pm (7:00pm Dallas time). That will be our last stop before Washington.
