Ron's favorite stalls at Carbon Market.  He'd like to eat them all!

Most businesses have an area for motorbike parking.  There are an incredible number of "motors" in the city.  Because they can maneuver around cars that are stuck in traffic, they can often get somewhere in half the time it takes in a car.

Typical businesses

Water meters to homes behind the businesses

After our training in Salt Lake


Assembly Hall on the fourth floor of  the Salt Lake Temple where we had our last instruction. 
This is where the temple dedication was held in 1893.  
Here's one of my first shots of the temple, and still one of my favorites.  When a taxi driver drove us through the gates of the Temple Complex a while ago, he said, "I remember this place.  It feels good to be here."   We told him that it was the spirit of God that he could feel here.  It's so  peaceful-- such a contrast to the busy, noisy, crowded streets of the city. 
Truly it is a refuge from the world.  We are so blessed to be here!
