Rain! Oh, well.

I had looked up the location of the Denver Temple on MapBlast, so I knew the general area, but I didn't think I'd need the step-by-step directions, fool that I was. I found Phillips Dr., followed it for a ways, found Phillips St., got all mixed up, frustrated.

Then I saw a young lady (attractive young lady, I should say) washing her car by the curb in the rain. I drove up to her and said, "I am TOTALLY lost!"

She asked me what I was looking for, and I said the Denver Temple.

She said, "Turn left at this next corner go two blocks turn right for one block then right again for two blocks then left keep going until you come to a four-way stop take the diagonal one for three blocks turn right then turn left at any of three streets and go one block you'll see it right up there."

"I'd better write that down," said I. So she said it again, one step at a time.

She was exactly right. How on earth she could fire off directions like that I'll never know.

What on earth would men do without women?!

Anyway, it was raining hard. I know I could have found a better spot to take a picture from, but I was getting wet and cold.

The temple is of a unique design -- at least it was different from any that I had visited -- so I would have liked to have spent more time there, and got a unique photo. Say la vee.
