Yosemite is still awesome!

I haven’t been to Yosemite since I was a kid but I remember all the parking lots, traffic, and shops. I remember being disappointed about how the park was commercialized. Now that I see it again, I understand that millions of people want to see it. It really is one of the prettiest sites in the world.

Wow, can you believe it? I climbed a mountain! Well, I climbed about 100 huge boulders to get above the Lower Yosemite Falls. That white-haired lady sitting next to Maya is me, and we’re way up. It was so exhilarating we did it 2 days in a row (and played cards the rest of the time).
