Low and behold, I had another opportunity to go downtown this weekend. I've been downtown half a dozen times since I've moved here but this past week I've gone down there 3 times. I am starting to set a trend!
In the past, I have always done Temple Square and City Creek Center. With the in-laws in town, they wanted to visit Temple Square. So this morning we drove down there and I dropped them off at temple square and I went in search of parking and needing a bit of solitude, I wound up driving near
Cathedral of the Madeleine Catholic Church. This is a mighty looking building that rivals those of Europe. Also next to it is a beautiful Presbyterian church. These churches are set in a really nice neighborhood. While there seemed to be some homeless hanging around the neighborhood, it definitely had an upscale feel to it (even though it appeared to be mostly apartments).
I wandered around snapping pictures of the churches and the neighborhood and made my way back to Temple Square. I wanted to check out the state capital, but by the time I got the inkling, the in-laws were done touring Temple Square.
All in all, the east side tour took about an hour.
Enjoy the photos:
