DAY 10 - YOSEMITE!

Today was an adventure day to Yosemite, National  Park! We had a couple hours  driving from our hotel.  When we got closer to Yosemite we all were excited because the view outside the windows was so terrific!

Our first stop was Yosemite Lodge and we started talking about how the National Park Service protects bears , what we can do to help , and how can we avoid them when we see them accidentally. After an interesting talk we had options to go hiking or take shuttle bus around the park. Me and my friends chose the shuttle bus tour. We went to Yosemite Fall first before we got there we took  few  pictures with a big rock which ancient people used to cook there. They made holes in various sizes for different uses. It’s really interesting to see how smart they were. When we got to the falls there were many people already so we decided to hike a little bit to get closer and to get better pictures.
After we explored Yosemite Fall, we took a shuttle bus to Curry Village for lunch. We got a chance to share experiences with the hiking people. They said it was a really nice hike and the view and the Vernal Falls was wonderful. After we grabbed some lunch, we headed to rafting. There were three or four people per boat. It was so much fun because we had to paddle by ourselves all the way.  Our boat we got stuck in the rocks or the logs every five minutes. So it was not only figuring out how to paddle but also solving how to get out of the things when we were stuck. But it was kind of good because that means we have more time to see the wonderful nature around us. And yeah we were the last boat of our group! We wish we could take photos but we could not bring any cameras.
After rafting we took a shuttle bus to Yosemite Lodge to have dinner. And it was time to say goodbye to Yosemite, the fabulous place in California.
