Picturesque Peaks, Riveting Rivers, and Gorgeous Gorges

September 24th, 2007

This morning we decided to explore Telluride. We took the free gondola down into town and walked around. It’s a gorgeous place. David took lots of great photos. Because it rained and then stopped, everything was clear and beautiful. My tagline for Telluride is this: Where the Other Half Skis.

We drove on to Utah and got to Arches National Park in the late afternoon. A lot of it can be seen from the car, which is good, since I was not up for any hiking. David did hike out and get close to one formation, and the light was lovely for pictures. Tonight we’re in a cabin on the Colorado River in Moab. We can hear the river, but otherwise, there are no sounds. Stars and moon above, crisp, clean air … when I re-read this blog entry in a few days from L.A., I will be jealous of my former self. But I do miss home and especially Stevel, and we are making the long (10+ hour) drive back tomorrow.

    Isn’t Arches just beautiful? I was overcome by the beauty of Utah when we drove cross-country six years ago.

    I hope your drive home is uneventful!

    Oh, it all sounds wonderful and lovely. I’d love to see photos, but you know what I’d love to see in photo form even more? Yup, you guessed it: your pregnant belly!

    I bet you make one of those lovely pregnant people that gets every other pregnant person jealous.
