I was ready to leave San Francisco. I took off early because I knew I would have a long trip in front of me and a lot to see today. I left SF with a good feeling and was ready for some more road tripping. The weather was with me, perfect. I arrived around lunchtime at the Yosemite national park. I have to say it was such a peaceful experience. Not only because of the El Capitan, the Yosemite Falls (they ran out of water at that time) or the Half Dome but also because of the fact that it wasn’t crowded at all. It was so tranquil that even the animals felt so.
I was standing alone in a meadow in the middle of Yosemite Park, surrounded by pine trees and giant granite rocks, in the distance the landmark called Half Dome. I went down on my knees to dig for some soil. I was concentrating on the ground for a while. I didn’t notice what’s going on around me but when I came up again I was surrounded by deer. Not only one or two. It was a herd grazing right next to me. They had no fear. They just appeared out of nowhere. It was an amazing surprise and a wonderful moment.
I arrived at 9pm in Bishop a place between Yosemite and the Nevada Desert where I could stay. My couchsurfing host was Cora. She didn't make it easy for me not to get a bit homesick. She was very welcoming. She loves her family and she only wants the best for all of the members, herself included. It's funny how quickly you can become part of them.
