Columbia River Temple is Beautiful

Of course closed for Corona Virus concerns, still the gates were open and the Columbia River Temple is beautiful.  This is the temple that would have serviced our family when I was first born, if had been built then.  It is only 50 miles from Othello to the temple.  I got there just as the sun was on its downward descent.  These pictures are from Friday 3/20/2020.

East San Antonio Hike San Jose

Arriving early for a training at the Learning Center, DTMHC office) I took a short thought the neighborhood.  I usual just stay on Santa Clara, so this was a pleasant change.  I discovered that East San Antonio has a bridge over the Guadalupe River with mosaics much like the bridge on Santa Clara.  In addition to the mosaics there was an interesting old church and a unique yard ornament.

The Alameda Murals

With my new work location sometimes I walk the Alameda to get to the train station.  This sends me past Recycle Books which is a fun place to stop.  I am becoming more familiar with The Alameda.  I have observed a couple murals of note and enjoy the stores.  Unfortunately Schurra's Chocolates has closed.
