    Arriving in Groveland

    September 20 in the United States ☁️ 77 °F

    Chris and I had an easy 1 1/2 hour flight from Portland to Sacramento, then had lunch at Cafe Bernardo in the airport while we waited for Kathryn and Dave to arrive. We picked up the Turo rental car in the airport parking lot and drove to Groveland, stopping in Stockton to stock up on groceries. Made it to the house in Groveland by about 5:30 and made fajitas for dinner.Read more

  • Yosemite Village

    Went to Yosemite Village, looked around the museums, Ansel Adams gallery, and recreated native village. Had lunch at the Ahwahnee Hotel. Tried to take advantage of the bike share but there were glitches so we had to share two between the four of us. I opted to read and rest while the others took turns.Read more
