Well, the 2-day stay we had planned so we could attend Grandpa Justice's funeral, turned into an unexpected 3-day trip to the mountains with James' parents and sister Mary and her kids. After getting warm clothes and food ready to go, we embarked on a 2 hour drive to (what seemed to me) the middle of nowhere. But what a pretty sight, the trees already changing colors, you could smell fall in the air, and with the temperature reached 32 F at night, I was glad we had a roof over our heads. It was very relaxing and peaceful to be in the mountains, Jacomo had a blast, and would crash one second after hitting the pillow. We ate some really yummy food and just enjoyed each others' company, even though the second night I got woken up by coyotes yapping and howling not far from our trailers. That was indeed a restless night for a big city girl like me... :)
Il programma di restare per 2 giorni in Price per attendere il funerale di Grandpa Justice, improvvisamente si e` allungato di altri 3 giorni che avremmo trascorso nelle montagne con i genitori di James e sua sorella Mary con le figlie. Dopo aver provveduto al cibo e vestiti invernali, ci siamo imbarcati in un viaggio di 2 ore verso (quello che e` sembrato a me) la terra di nessuno. Ma lo spettacolo era mozzafiato, con gli alberi gia`con i colori autunnali, l'odore dell'inverno in arrivo e temperature sotto zero la notte e grata di avere un tetto sopra la testa. E` stato incredibilmente rilassante e quieto, Jacomo si e` divertito molto anche se poi la sera appena la testa toccava il cuscino, cadeva in catalesse. Abbiamo mangiato alla grande e siamo stati in buona compagnia, anche se poi la seconda notte, sono stata svegliata dal guaire e l'ululare di alcuni coyote non lontano dalle nostre roulotte. Confesso che e` stata una notte piuttosto agitata per una persona di citta` come me... :)
