Pacific Ocean!! I was wearing a million layers cause it was cold but I poked my finger in just so I would have touched the Pacific Ocean.

Stanislaus wasn’t hot. A little dewey but that’s it. I’m in Yosemite right now and it is so beautiful.

Yosemite was beautiful, loved it. I wish we could have spent more time there. No fireworks out here (duh – fires!!). We just had burgers and lecture.

Just went to Bryce and Zion, which are now two of my fave places. We have to come back here. Now that I hiked Angels Landing and survived, look up how scary it is. Wish you could see these places.

I’m in the van on the way to Mesa Verde. We heard coyotes the other night. Chaco was super cool. I haven’t showered since Monday ☺
