Bison on Antelope Island (look closely)

Saturday 15th March

Today we got up and went in to the city area . We thought we would catch the tram in but the closest tram stop was half way to the city so we walked all the way, it really was not that far. After trying to find the shopping mall or shopping area we went in to Temple Square, which is the square in the very center of town where the Mormons have their church, hall and other buildings. After speaking to a girl at Temple Square who told us there was no shopping in the city area like Australia we then thought we would have a quick look around the square. Once we looked around we went to the tourist info building and got some info on Salt Lake. Once we had the map and recommendation to visit Antelope Island we drove the 40 miles to the National Park and paid to go in. We went to the visitor centre and then drove around and looked at the view of the salt lakes from Antelope Island. They also have Bison roaming free which they farm and sell to make money for the up keep of the island. The salt lake also produces salt and sea monkeys (brine shrimp) for fish food. After we finished at the island we went to Ihop for dinner, the food at Ihop was really good and we both really enjoyed it. It snowed so much while we were in Salt Lake City, it really did not stop. It was very nice with everything covered in snow.
