Snow at Yosemite
Yosemite Falls
Superb
| Today we went to Yosemite National Park. On the way up we saw cars coming down toward us with snow on their rooves. The closer to the top we got the more snow we saw. The kids on the bus pleaded for the driver to stop so they could play in the snow. They were obliged. Some of the adults got in on the action too. We kept on to the park - the weather cleared and snow disappeared - the sun was out but it was still pretty cold. We spent a couple of hours wandering around looking at the sights and waterfalls. We had a group photo taken by Johnny the bus driver. He had about 10 cameras on the ground ready to go - after telling everyone to stay still he called for bids on the cameras! Everybody cracked up and after some time gained enough composure for the photo/s to be taken. We then went to see the giant Sequioas. Some are about 30 foot in circumference. These are mighty big trees and magnificient giants. The only downer was when we got back to the hotel we had all been locked out of our rooms (electronically). This was sorted out pretty quick then we had a group dinner for the original tourers as four groups of us finish up at San Francisco tomorrow. Kids were extremely tired. We'll see how they are in the A.M. Would not recommend this hotel - the non smoking floor couldn't be seen for the haze of smake and at the end of a long day it was a bit much to find we'd been locked out and had to wait for the hotel to fix all the cards! |
