This morning after breakfast, we went to the local SNAP Fitness and had a good workout. Then we headed into downtown Salt Lake City to check out the hostel that we are going to stay out and do some sightseeing.
After looking at the hostel, we parked and walked to the Utah Museum of Modern Art. It was really a great place, with lots of interactive exhibits. One of them involved three wall displays with different shapes representing different sounds. Each wall display was controlled by a different mouse control on a pedestal in the center of the room. You could make your own musical composition and leave it playing for the next people to come in the room and hear....pretty cool!
There were also several different media art exhibits (computers, gaming systems, movies, etc.), including one movie called "Bear 71." The movies were representative selections from the Sundance Film Festival and the "Bear 71" movie is one that is really good (based on real-life nature data collected from automatic cameras in the wild).
We then went to the Salt Lake Visitors' Center and just checked out other interesting things to do, especially inside, since tomorrow a big cold snowy storm is supposed to blow through for the day. I think we have decided on the brand-new Natural History Museum at the University of Utah. The website makes it look extremely interesting and it was highly recommended by both of the workers at the Visitors' Center.
We grabbed some delicious Tuscan grilled sandwiches for dinner and Chris practiced his guitar. We picked up some beer on the way back from dinner and it's kind of nice to just be relaxing and not be as sore as I was the past two nights (from skiing)! Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day!
