I'm happy , happy ,happy :) After my complaints about post offices' delays last night , today my first two cards were registered so that means that the first 2 cards are coming on my way ( wonder where from ). I even arranged a private swap with the German lady so it has been a great day ! In the meantime here is one of my most special cards from Salt Lake City , Utah in the U.S. It's written and stamped and sent from SLC , from a dear friend from Italy , when he moved from his native country to Utah ! This beautiful city was founded by Brigham Young and his fellow Mormons in 1847 on their way to the West ! Today it's a city of about 1.145.905 people , it still the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (as the Mormons are officially named ) but only about the half of SLC population are members of the Church ! Before Mormon settlement the tribes of Ute, Paiute and Shoshone had dwelt in the valley for thousands of years .
On the top left of the card you see the Salt Lake Temple which is the biggest and most famous of Mormon Temples, it took 40 years to complete, it's the 6th temple completed by the church and the 4th operating temple built after the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois !
Top right you see the State Capitol Building .
Bottom left shows Bonneville Salt Flats in Great Salt Lake &
Bottom right is Bingham Copper Mine . Grazie Manuele :)
