Today is July24th, the day when the first group of Mormon pioneers reached Salt Lake Valley in the summer of 1847, and Brigham Young, prophet of the church, looked at what was a then a barren, dry desert and declared: “This is the right place”.
Since Ale had to work, Giovanna and I drove to This is the Place to enjoy the festivities. We watched the Pioneer parade, played with water, made crafts, and much more. I was planning to spend just a couple of hours there. We stayed for four hours! It was fun, fun, fun!
At night we drove to Trolley Square in downtown Salt Lake. We had dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory and watched the fireworks.
