Back in the woods, Yosemite National Park

We started the morning with breakfast buffet at the Ahwahnee Lodge

The views from the road in the park are very good

 

We then parked and headed up the trail to Vernal Falls

 

Having made to near the falls we  headed up to the top

Two nights in a tent in Yosemite

 

We stayed in cabin # 284 in Curry Village. It was raining the first night but all dried out the next day.

 

 

 

San Francisco Day

First we went to the de Young Museum, a cool Andy Goldsworthy greeted us.

 

Next we walked next door to the Japanese Tea Garden

 

We liked taking to street cars about, $2.25 went along way

 

For $1.50 we took the ferry from pier one to pier 39 making a nice circle of the city.

 

 

 

 

After dinner at the Slanted Door we took a cable car up Knob Hill, then walked down to the Cannery for treats before bed.
