Second night we chilled with our good friends the Chapmans in Fresno. We had fun at a local park, eating some amazing Ethiopian food, accidentally taking their frisbee when we left (sorry! we’ll, mail it =), and drinking tea and coffee over a great game of Squint. We started the next day with some famous Chapman coffee cake (famous because it’s supposed to be eaten with milk!), then headed out for the bay area only to change our mind and make a detour to Yosemite on the way. We’d never been, so it was a lot of fun and amazing to see what John Muir and many others advocated for, and Ansel Adams visually captured forever.
Espen got to picking up leaves and pretending they were a camera, then would take our picture. Very creative! (below left)
Half dome (below left) and Yosemite Falls (below right) were both amazing to see. It really is hard to convey the sheer size of these rock faces. They literally shot up out of the valley. It was like Smith Rock on crack!
Although a short trip, it was definitely worth it! We’re looking forward to returning in the future for a longer duration as there was so much potential hiking and photo taking. If you’d like to see some more our good friends the Macys took some photos on their trip last year, you can view them here. More photos on our road trip tomorrow!!!
