July 25th: A lazy day

This morning we did not sleep in...(see later in this article why)
First thing to visit that day was the library. It's an amazing piece of architecture - receiving the 2006 price of libraries. There is a special departement for children, with hidden corners where one can read aloud with your kids, or let them play a bit. There are fireplaces at some levels, the walls are in glass, the building is tilted inwards and there is a nice rooftop where you get a majestic view of the city.
We then wanted to hear the Mormon choir sing, but we ended up listening to the Mormon Organ... not really our cup of tea but it was relaxing (no, I did not fall asleep).
The afternoon was play time in the shops again...
In the evening we had to reorganise our cycling bags again. The next day we were out of Salt Lake City.
We felt sad that this fancy hotel did not have the TV-channel where we could follow the ride up the Mont Ventoux. Instead we got up early and ran to the computer office... where we got very disappointed we were not able to watch the ride on Sporza on the computer. But... we listened to the comments in Dutch and I watched funny cartoon style cyclists on the computer screen.
Overall we were very pleased with the Belgian cyclist Jurgen Van den Brouck! And, way to go Lance!
