Salt Lake City is considered a small American city - about the same size as Adelaide so it seems large to us. Rory took us on a drive to see the University of Utah where he is Dean of the Dental School and the campus is huge, the size of a small town, flowing on block after block. The generosity of its donors is evident in lots of large modern buildings named after their benefactors. Everything is clean and orderly and most impressive.
There is a large hospital on campus where they're working towards patient files for health and dental being integrated - such a good idea. A Mormon philosophy is that patient care and scientific research come before the clinicians' remuneration which sounds amazing in theory.
Downtown we drove by the Tabernacle and the State Capitol, more imposing buildings. The weather was grey and threatening but no actual rain.
