Over
spring break, I went up to Northern California. During that time I went to Yosemite. Although Yosemite might not be
the most exotic of places, it was still really cool and beautiful. The
mountains were huge. I was awestruck and I felt so small when I looked up at
them. Especially half dome; it was so tall and I felt so useless looking up at
it.
The waterfalls are really cool too. There were several different ones. Some
were really small, and others were huge. Yosemite Falls was either the biggest
or one of them. It had three parts to it, the upper, the middle and the lower.
The
biggest one was the upper, the smallest one was the middle, and the
medium-sized one was the lower. The nature there was one of the things that
makes you say, "how in the world did God make all of this in just anew
days?"
We went
on a couple little hikes and we took a bus tour around the park. Our guide was
great. He knew what he was talking about and used what he knew to make the tour
more interesting.
The lodge
we stayed at was called Yosemite Lodge. It was a pretty big place. They even had a place where you could rent bikes. I rented a bike and rode it around for a while we went to go watch people rock climb up the cliffs. While I was riding my bike it started to snow. That was the first time I was ever in a place where it was snowing for more than an hour. It didn't stay on the ground though, the weather was not cold enough for that.
One of the nights, we went out to dinner at the Ahwanee Hotel. The food was really good and the view was amazing, especially since it was snowing. We wanted to stay there but it cost too much so we didn't. The hotel itself is like a hundred years old.
Here are some of the pictures we took while we were there.
Thats it for now. I will be posting later this month or early in the next.
