Salt Lake City Temple Square
The capital building and Wasatch Mountains
Little Cottonwood Canyon
Salt Lake City is one of my favorite places in the world. It would be the first place I would consider; if moving back to the States. The mountains are stunning, the food choices incredible, the nightlife is hip and happening [that's right, but don't tell anyone; it is a well kept secret]. However, it is a particular group of people, whom I adore, that keep me coming back!
Each spring, we scavenge the house for socks & closed toed shoes; dust the tropical dew off our jackets and head north, to the City of Salt [hipsters, ski bums and the mecca of mormonism].
From the moment we arrived, we were engulfed by our incredible community; morning coffee, backyard bonfires, soup nite, dinners on the porch. Our days and nights were filled with the exchange of stories; present and past.
I've done some pondering, as of late, on the act of friendship and how to make wise decisions about the friends I choose. Each time I arrive to a decision or definition, it always includes the qualities encompassed by many of our Salt Lake City friends [as well as a handful of other amigos around the globe]. Dependable. Giving. Honest. Those who inspire me to be a better person; to do good in the world.
Thank you SLC for embracing me and sending me back home feeling super loved and recharged with positive energy! Along with a belly full of delicious vegan food and Strongbow.
