-1 to Paris: hiking with grandpa and grandma

Good job Josh! It was a long hike, 3 hours and a half each way, but you made it. I have to admit that I was a bit worried for grandpa Giorgio, who is 80. But, as usual, he surprised me and we went all together up to the top of the Freidur Mountain without problems. The view was spectacular. I learned that every year, on October, people from U.K. come here to commemorate the English pilots who crashed their plane on the top of the mountain while trying to help the partisans. The monument on top is called "Wings as sails". There is also a stone with the following words from W. Churchill: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
