In California

We are in Yosemite to meet relatives, one of the most adventurous couples I know: spouse’s brother and his wife.

California’s longstanding drought has been declared officially over, so the waterfalls in Yosemite are all going full blast.

We walked. We walked all day to the sights in and around Half Dome Village and Yosemite Falls. We walked even though my sister-in–law had hip replacement just a month ago. We also rode the shuttles, but at times they were slower than just walking. So we walked. We had late lunch at the glorious park lodge, The Ahwahnee.

At the end of the day we left the national park and found our way to Modesto to a motel reservation, because in our family tomorrow isn’t just Sunday, and it isn’t just Mother’s Day.

Tomorrow is bike race day.
