Yosemite

Finding a place to sleep close to the park was not so easy, we were quite sceptical about our options, but eventually we found a pretty nice spot next to a fire station, with WiFi even. After we had talked about how nice it was that we haven't been woken up in the middle of the night and sent away until now, we had our personal alarm from a highway patrol. Apparently, we were parking at the wrong spot in the parking lot, which we didn't see at night. She was super nice and wished us a good day. At least we got to Yosemite quite early.
After our breakfast with a beautiful view on the rim of the valley, we asked a ranger for some recommendations, so we went to the Yosemite Falls, and to the El Capitan Meadow to see the famous rock. On the
shuttle bus I made friends with a random Spanish man, ( after I helped him, as he didn't speak a word in English) whom we saw again and again, and who warned us about the hurricane in San Francisco (and tried to tell me some weird stuff about Hungarians in Bilbao, but I didn't understand him, he was quite eccentric)
and then we hiked up to some waterfalls on some icy and steep stairs. Unfortunately we didn't have time for the last hike, but the ranger in the morning told us: in Yosemite we are not sad about the things we don't see, but we are thankful for the things we did see.もっと詳しく
