Day 11 June 23 2010

Here we go again, downtown Salt Lake City, we will tour the Convention Center this morning and then go see if we can find anyone else for the family tree Pat is working on.

It only took three (3) years to build the Convention Center.

Not much luck today however.

After doing the above we went shopping and then we went out to eat our evening meal.

This picture is on the roof and was made by sandblasting the images on the tiles. Outstanding piece of work.

Notice in the next few pictures of the inside of the Convention Center, they can seat 23,000 people in here.

No seat is obstructed from view.

A special soil was developed (for less weight than dirt due to the weight).
