Miles 7091-7181: Provo Canyon, Provo, and Park City
7/31
We hung out at the house the whole morning, exploring the hot tub and rest of the house. We drove through Provo Canyon and stopped at Bridal Veil Falls, our second of that name in a week, the first being in Yosemite. It was a lot smaller, but a lot prettier as we could get a lot closer, right at the bottom. Apparently Bridal Veil is a common name for waterfalls; water is see-through, but when it’s running, it also looks white, like a veil. It makes sense. We drove through Provo on our way back to Park City. We got lunch at Riverhorse Provisions, where I got a Provisions Wrap, with lettuce, cucumber, marinated artichokes, hummus, and lemon vinaigrette. We walked down Main Street, popping into some random shops. We stopped at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Shop and got some chocolates. Jackson had his sea-salt dark chocolate caramel right then and there, and I saved mine for that night. Back at the house, we had leftovers for dinner: salad, tomato soup, rolls, pork and rice, and chicken from Safeway and meals from the past few days. We got in the hot tub again, watched some TV, and I had my chocolate, milk chocolate raspberry caramel. After getting ready for bed, we read some and went to sleep.
“To find the universal elements enough. To find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter.
To be thrilled by the stars at night, to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring.
These are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
