Getting in touch with nature

Verenigde Staten, Yosemite National Park

After a five hour drive (and a lunch at Taco Bell), we arrived at Housekeeping camp in Yosemite.
We started the weekend with a nice camp fire near our tent house enjoying the nocturnal sounds with a sky full of stars (never get to see that much stars in Belgium).

The next day we started hiking along the river, meeting some hurdles and experiencing a lot of different vegetations.
Though I was amazed by all the beauty, it still felt like I was not there. Instead it felt like looking at a picture or watching a movie about Yosemite NP.
Everything is incredibly big (as to be expected, but unreal when actually experiencing it): huge peaks of rocks, huge trees, big waterfalls coming down from the cliffs, ...

After a 4 hour walk, we headed back and had another cozy evening by the fire. Playing ukulele with Kumaran and having some American rose wine.

Next day we went to Glacier Point (by car this time, hike to this point is not meant for amateurs like me) where we had an amazing view of the Yosemite Valley.

To end our Yosemite trip we had some Mexican food in a local place, called Alfonso's) with super refreshing home made lemonade. We took country roads to avoid traffic where we had awesome views.

Next stop is staying at a lighthouse and visiting some of the California coast.
