4TH OF JULY IN YOSEMITE!

First activity of the day: Hiking to a waterfall...

It was beautiful and totally worth the trek!

Sunset as we were leaving the park

First of all, happy 4^th of July to everybody!!! I hope all of you had a good day because we did! Today we went to Yosemite National Park, in California, which was really, really pretty.

Hiking in the morning wasn’t that easy but we made it because we are simply AWESOME!!! I would say that the trail was steeper than the Grand Canyon but the weather wasn’t as hot so it was nice. We survived and it was worth it for the view! After one mile of walking up and up some more, we were able to observe the beautiful waterfalls. At the top, we took some pictures, flew our flags and enjoyed a lot! The view was so wonderful up there! It’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

In the afternoon, we had two options. We could go rafting or biking. Biking was nice and relaxing for the few who chose to do it... Rafting was also a lot of fun! Everybody was very excited to experience a new adventure. We were divided in groups of four per boat. For some people, it wasn’t that easy to control the boats but you know, we took that with humor and the hard part became funny and enjoyable! The funniest part was to splash everybody else! As you can imagine, those are memories that will stay forever in our minds!

For 4^th of July, the American spirit was with us all day. Red, white and blue were the main colors of our outfits. Also, we were lucky to spend the national independence day in one of the most beautiful places in the USA!

Have a good night everyone and see you tomorrow for some new ADVENTURES in San Francisco! J
