Yosemite July 2009

Cirque du Soleil, originally uploaded by Dynamic Range.

This past weekend we went to Yosemite. We left a little bit late because my sister had a test and it finished at 11. We grabbed some Lee's sandwiches before heading out. For a long time, I hated Lee's sandwiches because I used to eat too much of it. It was nice to eat it again after a long layoff.

Our first stop was Yosemite valley. We checked out all the waterfalls. The waterfalls weren't as impressive this time of year. They are usually gushing with water in spring time.

At around 7:30 we heading to the hotel. Our hotel was located in Mono lake which was a hr and half drive from the valley. Along the way, we stopped at a vista lookout to take pictures of ourselves during sunset.

The hotel was actually a motel. We got yelled at for talking too louldly while looking for our hotel. We barely arrived and we already got yelled at for talking too louldly. It was funny to us because we were still in the truck when they told us quiet down.

Marie and Romel didn't eat so we heading across the stree to a BBQ joint to grab something to eat while the others showered. We almost saw results of UFC because it was showing there. I made sure not to look at the TV. Marie on the other hand didn't care and watched.

The next day we woke up early to see sunrise over Mono Lake. We ended up missing it. We were driving around trying to get to the lake. When we did get there it smelled terrible. It smelled like rotten eggs. If you have ever been to a hot spring, you would know the smell. I felt good farting because no one would notice. I added to the stench.

I saw another photographer taking pictures of plants. I pretended not to notice. After he left, I took pictures of the same plants. I took some awesome picutes:) Thanks guy.

We went back to the motel to rest before heading out to yosemite. We stopped by Tuoleme meadows and Tenaya Lake. As usual, we took more pictures. Epi and I loved using off camera flashes. We are not as nimble because we are still learning. I think some of the girls were getting annoyed with some of the picture taking.

We went home pretty early in the afternoon. I didn't want to get back to late. I let Romel drive home. I got to sit in the back and it sucked. There was six of us and the truck only fits 5 people so 4 people had to share seats in the back. My butt was hurting most of th way back. I don't know how Maite and Epi did it because they stayed in the back the whole time. Overall the whole trip was blast. Good times with good people. I would like to thank everybody who was there for making this trip a extremely fun one. I would also like to thank everybody for assisting us in the photo shoots:)
